FAQs
Is the adidas Forum Exhibit Low suitable for wide feet?
The shoe features a standard fit. If you have wider feet, you may find the leather upper provides some natural stretch over time, though it is primarily designed for a standard anatomical shape.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash leather footwear as the heat and water can damage the structure, glue, and leather quality.
What material are these shoes made of?
This model is constructed using high-quality leather, which provides a premium feel and long-lasting durability.
Are these suitable for basketball?
While inspired by basketball heritage, this is a lifestyle sneaker. It is intended for casual, everyday use rather than high-intensity court performance.
How do I maintain the white colour?
Regular maintenance is key. Wipe the shoes down after each use to remove dust and address stains immediately with a damp cloth.
Are these shoes unisex?
While the specific variant listed is for adult males (UK 5), the Forum silhouette is widely considered a unisex design, and the style is appropriate for anyone preferring a classic low-top look.
Troubleshooting
Leather showing scuff marks
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a gentle eraser tool to buff out surface scuffs from the white leather.
Creasing at the toe box
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the leather maintain its shape and reduce the depth of natural walking creases.
White colour losing brightness
Use a white shoe cream or leather whitener designed for sneakers to refresh the finish and cover minor discolouration.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your adidas Forum Exhibit Low stays in top condition, follow these simple guidelines:
- Fit: Ensure you are wearing the correct UK size 5 to prevent unnecessary creasing caused by incorrect foot placement.
- Cleaning: Since the material is leather, wipe surfaces regularly with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging them in water or using harsh chemical cleaners that may damage the leather finish.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the white leather from yellowing or drying out over extended periods.
- Protection: Consider applying a leather-safe water and stain repellent spray to help guard against accidental spills and environmental grime.
