FAQs

Are these suitable for running?

While the adidas Forum 84 Low ADV offers comfort and durability for everyday wear and light activities, they are not designed as specialized running shoes. For dedicated running, consider shoes engineered specifically for that purpose.

How do I clean the white leather parts?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For stubborn marks, a mild leather cleaner applied with a soft cloth can be used. Always test any cleaner on a small, hidden area first.

What is the main difference between this and older Forum models?

The 'ADV' designation typically indicates enhanced strength and functionality, often with specific improvements for durability and comfort suitable for more active or daily use compared to purely fashion-oriented retro models.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

The leather upper offers some protection, but these are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage to the leather and sole.

What does 'White Gum' colorway refer to?

'White Gum' refers to the color scheme, typically featuring a white or off-white upper with a gum-colored rubber outsole.

What is the warranty period for these shoes?

Warranty information typically varies by retailer and region. Please refer to the specific terms and conditions provided at the point of purchase for details on warranty coverage.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise when walking

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try wearing them for a few more days to break them in. If the noise persists, check if the insole is properly seated or if moisture has gotten into the shoe.

Uneven wear on the sole

Ensure you are walking naturally and not dragging your feet. If the wear is significant and uneven, it might indicate a need for professional assessment or replacement.

Leather creasing excessively

Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize it, avoid over-tightening laces and ensure proper fit. Using shoe trees can help maintain shape when not in use.
