FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the adidas Forum Low generally fits true to size. If you prefer a looser fit, some users opt for a half-size up, but standard sizing is usually recommended.
Can I use these for basketball?
While the Forum series has basketball roots, this model is designed for lifestyle and casual wear, not competitive or high-impact athletic performance.
How do I protect the white leather from stains?
Using a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for leather can help prevent dirt and moisture from setting into the material.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The silhouette is relatively standard. The leather will stretch slightly, but those with very wide feet may want to try them on for comfort.
Can the insoles be removed?
Most models of the Forum Low feature a standard insole that can be removed if you need to insert custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
Leather will soften and mold to your foot shape over time; try wearing them for shorter periods during the first week to break them in.
Creasing on the toe box
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather footwear; using shoe trees when not worn can help maintain the shape.
Surface scuffs on leather
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a gentle eraser to buff out minor surface marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your adidas Forum Low sneakers remain in peak condition, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe away surface dirt from the leather. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
