Product Information
Full details
The adidas Forum Mid is a versatile leather sneaker designed for adults who value a blend of basketball-inspired heritage and contemporary street style. Its defining benefit is the combination of superior ankle support from the mid-top silhouette and lasting underfoot comfort, making it ideal for daily casual wear. One important caveat is that as a premium leather shoe, it requires consistent maintenance to keep the pristine all-white finish looking fresh against daily environmental elements.

FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the adidas Forum Mid generally fits true to the standard UK size guide for adult trainers.
Can these be used for heavy basketball play?
While inspired by basketball heritage, they are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual use rather than high-intensity competitive sports.
How do I keep the white leather white?
Clean regularly with a damp cloth and specialized leather conditioner to prevent dirt build-up and cracking.
Is the ankle strap removable?
The ankle strap is a core design feature of the Forum Mid and is intended to remain attached to the shoe.
Does the leather material stretch?
Leather will slightly conform to the shape of your foot after a brief break-in period, but it does not stretch as significantly as fabric trainers.
Troubleshooting
Creasing at the toe box
Use cedar shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to maintain their shape and minimize deep leather creases.
Stains on the leather
Apply a mild, pH-balanced leather cleaner with a microfiber cloth immediately after spotting, rather than letting the stain set.
Ankle strap losing its grip
Remove lint or debris caught in the hook-and-loop fastener using a small grooming brush or tweezers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Forum Mids last, proper care is essential. Since these feature a white leather upper, use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft-bristled brush to remove surface debris after each wear. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or placing them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the leather and adhesive integrity. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the white material from yellowing over time. If the shoes become damp, stuff them with paper towels to help retain their shape while they air dry naturally.
