FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for beginners in skateboarding?

Yes, the Forum 84 Low ADV offers good grip and durability, making them suitable for beginners looking for a reliable skate shoe.

How long does the break-in period typically last?

The break-in period can vary, but most users find them comfortable after a few skate sessions or a week of moderate wear.

Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather and the overall structure of the shoe.

What is the primary advantage of the gum outsole?

The gum outsole provides superior grip and is known for its durability and resistance to wear, which is crucial for skateboarding.

Is the leather treated to be waterproof?

The leather is durable but not inherently waterproof. It's best to avoid excessive exposure to water and clean them with a damp cloth rather than soaking.

What does 'ADV' stand for in Forum 84 Low ADV?

ADV typically stands for 'Advanced,' indicating that this model has been updated with features specifically for skateboarding performance.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

This is common with new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods indoors to gradually break them in. Consider wearing thicker socks during the break-in process.

Traction feels reduced on certain surfaces.

Ensure the gum outsole is clean and free from dirt or debris. Excessive dust or grime can affect grip. A quick wipe with a damp cloth should restore traction.

Laces are wearing out quickly.

Check if the laces are rubbing against rough parts of the shoe during skating. Consider using more durable, skate-specific laces or ensuring laces are tucked away neatly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal performance and comfort.

Compatibility: Designed primarily for skateboarding, they are compatible with most skateboards and protective gear. They are suitable for adult users.

Care: To maintain the condition of your Forum 84 Low ADV sneakers:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather upper with a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water, as this can damage the leather.
  2. Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can cause the leather to crack.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
