FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally fit according to standard UK sizing. If you have particularly wide feet, you may prefer to try them on for the most comfortable fit.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No, it is highly recommended to avoid machine washing as it can damage the leather and compromise the structure of the shoe.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
While the leather offers some protection, it is not fully waterproof. It is best to avoid heavy rain and use a protective spray.
Are these suitable for basketball?
While inspired by court heritage, this version is intended for lifestyle and fashion wear, not high-intensity athletic sports.
How do I maintain the Clay Sesame colour?
Keep the shoes clean and avoid harsh chemical cleaners that might strip the dye from the leather.
Can the insoles be removed?
The insoles are generally designed to be part of the shoe structure, but they may be removable depending on the specific manufacturing batch.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull after heavy wear
Use a high-quality leather conditioner or cream to restore moisture and shine to the material.
Creasing at the toe box
This is natural for leather shoes; using shoe trees when not in use helps maintain the shoe's shape and minimizes deep creases.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure the laces are threaded properly through all eyelets and consider a double-knot if the round laces feel too slick.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your adidas Forum Mid trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure you are wearing your standard UK size. Since these are leather, there may be a slight break-in period where the material softens to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry brush to remove loose dirt from the leather surface. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive soap solution.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather fading or cracking.
- Moisture Protection: Applying a leather-safe water-repellent spray can help protect the material from unexpected rain showers.
