FAQs

What material is the upper made from?

Are they true to size?

The adidas Forest Hills series generally runs true to size for UK size 6.5. For specific fit concerns, it is always recommended to try them on.

How do I clean the green accents?

The embroidered green accents can be gently cleaned with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh rubbing, especially on the suede.

Can these be worn in all seasons?

While suitable for most seasons, due to the suede material, it is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or snow to prevent damage.

The Brain Dead collaboration introduces unique design elements, co-branded logos, and embroidered motifs to the classic Forest Hills silhouette, reflecting Brain Dead's distinctive artistic style.

Is the sole comfortable for walking long distances?

Troubleshooting

Suede appears matted or dirty.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. Brush in one direction.

Sneakers feel stiff initially.

The durable rubber outsole and premium materials may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter periods initially to allow them to conform to your feet.

Loss of cushioning comfort over time.

While the EVA midsole is durable, prolonged heavy use can compress it. Consider replacing insoles with aftermarket cushioned ones if needed.

Laces frequently come undone.

Ensure you are using a double knot for added security. You can also consider replacing the laces with a different material that offers more friction.

Scuffs or marks on the rubber outsole.

Use a shoe cleaner or a magic eraser to gently clean scuff marks from the rubber outsole. Avoid using abrasive materials on the suede.
