FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to size. If you prefer a looser fit or intend to wear thick socks, some users recommend sizing up by a half size.
Can I wash these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives. Hand cleaning is recommended.
Are these suitable for running?
No, these are lifestyle trainers designed for casual walking, not for running or high-impact exercise.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from premium leather, providing durability and a classic look.
Is the Forum Low unisex?
Yes, the design is categorized as unisex, offering a style that suits anyone.
How do I prevent the laces from coming undone?
Ensure they are double-knotted if the laces feel particularly slick, or replace them with cotton-based flat laces for more friction.
Troubleshooting
The leather feels stiff initially
Wear them indoors for short periods to gradually soften the leather to the shape of your foot.
Creasing on the toe box
This is common with leather trainers; use shoe trees when not wearing the shoes to help maintain their shape.
Stains on the leather
Use a specialized leather eraser or a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid soaking the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your adidas Forum Low sneakers maintain their appearance, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner applied sparingly.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking and color fading.
- Protection: Consider applying a water-repellent spray specifically for leather to protect against accidental spills or light moisture.
- Insoles: The interior is designed to work with the standard provided insole, though it can accommodate custom orthotics if required by removing the original insert.
