FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for high-intensity sports?
While based on basketball shoes, the modern Forum Low is intended for casual street wear rather than professional athletic performance.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
The Forum Low generally fits true to size. If you prefer a looser fit or wear thicker socks, consider opting for a half-size larger.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather, adhesive, and the overall structure of the sneaker. Always hand-clean them.
Is the leather upper genuine or synthetic?
These models feature high-quality leather construction, offering the durability and comfort associated with authentic materials.
How often should I clean the white leather?
To keep them looking pristine, it is recommended to perform a quick wipe-down after every few wears to prevent grime buildup.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the toe box area
Use a shoe tree when not wearing the shoes to help retain the original shape and minimize deep creases.
Surface scuffs on the white leather
Use a specialized sneaker eraser or a small amount of mild soapy water on a cloth to gently buff out surface marks.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure the laces are threaded correctly and double-knot them if the standard bow does not provide enough friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Initial Fit: Ensure your laces are adjusted properly upon first wear. The leather may feel slightly stiff initially but will soften and contour to your foot over time.
- Compatibility: These shoes pair effortlessly with tapered jeans, cuffed chinos, or athletic shorts. Avoid wearing them with heavy, rugged work gear.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth after each use to remove dust. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft-bristled brush. Avoid soaking the shoes in water, as this can damage the leather finish and adhesive components.
