FAQs
Are the BW Army trainers suitable for running?
No, these are designed as lifestyle trainers and do not contain the specialized foam cushioning or arch support required for running.
How do I clean the frayed edges?
Gently use a soft brush to remove dust. Do not attempt to trim or pull the frayed edges, as this is an intentional design feature.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing will likely damage the leather and the adhesive bonding, which may lead to the shoe falling apart.
Do these shoes run true to size?
They generally follow standard sizing; if you are between sizes, it is usually recommended to go with the slightly larger size for added comfort.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The leather is water-resistant to a degree, but they are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in puddles or worn in heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull after heavy use
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner to restore suppleness and shine to the smooth leather panels.
Suede sections are picking up dirt
Use a specialized suede eraser or a soft suede brush to lift embedded particles without damaging the material's nap.
Creasing in the toe box
This is normal for leather trainers; use cedar shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the shoe's shape and absorb excess moisture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your BW Army trainers remain in top condition, follow these care steps:
- Initial Protection: Use a water-repellent spray specifically designed for leather and suede before wearing them outside to prevent moisture damage.
- Routine Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dirt from the suede sections; avoid heavy scrubbing that might fray the edges further.
- Leather Care: Wipe down the smooth leather parts with a slightly damp cloth to remove surface grime.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or fading of the black dye.
- Fit: These trainers are sized for standard adult foot dimensions; ensure you select your correct UK shoe size, as the leather will stretch slightly but will not drastically change shape.
