FAQs
What is the primary material of the adidas Forum 84 Low?
The primary material for the upper of the adidas Forum 84 Low is soft leather.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the adidas Forum 84 Low is designed for casual wear and comfort, not for athletic performance like running.
How do I choose the right size?
It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the brand's sizing chart. As these are UK sizes, verify conversion if ordering from a different region. Reading reviews can also provide insights into fit.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather and construction of the shoe.
What does the '84' in Forum 84 Low signify?
The '84' refers to the year 1984, indicating that this model is a re-release or revival of the original Forum design from that era.
How do I care for the leather upper?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth and use a leather conditioner periodically. Avoid harsh chemicals and excessive moisture.
What is the fit like for this shoe?
Generally, the Forum 84 Low offers a standard fit. However, leather shoes can feel snug initially and will conform to your foot with wear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable
This is common with new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to allow the leather to break in and mold to your foot.
Leather shows signs of creasing or scuffing
Minor creasing is natural with leather. For scuffs, try using a leather cleaner or conditioner suitable for the shoe's color. For deeper marks, consult a professional shoe repair service.
Laces fraying or breaking
Replace the laces with new ones of a similar length and material. Many sporting goods stores offer replacement laces.
Slight color transfer onto socks
This can occasionally happen with new dyed leather. It usually reduces with wear. Washing the inside of the shoe lightly with a damp cloth might help, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the leather.
- Conditioning: Periodically use a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Apply sparingly with a clean cloth.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
