FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The adidas Forum series generally fits true to size for most adults, though those with wider feet may prefer to try them on for the best fit.
Can I use these for playing basketball?
While these are inspired by basketball shoes, modern performance standards suggest using dedicated athletic shoes for intense basketball matches.
How do I remove scuffs from the leather?
For light scuffs, use a clean eraser or a damp cloth with very mild soap to gently buff the area.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, they are made of leather and are not waterproof; avoid heavy rain to prevent water staining or damage.
What is the best way to lace them?
Most users prefer the standard criss-cross lacing style, but you can adjust the tension at the tongue for a more secure or relaxed fit.
Troubleshooting
Creasing appearing in the leather toe box
Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help the leather retain its natural shape.
Difficulty maintaining cleanliness on the black leather
Apply a leather conditioner or cream polish periodically to keep the material supple and resist stains.
Outsole collecting debris in the tread
Use a soft-bristled brush to clear dirt from the rubber sole grooves to ensure maximum traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are low-top leather trainers, minimal setup is required beyond lacing them to your preferred tension. To keep the shoes in optimal condition, wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth after wear to remove surface dust. If you encounter salt or mud, use a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear. Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather drying and cracking. To maintain the shape of the toe box when not in use, consider using cedar shoe trees or stuffing the interior with acid-free tissue paper.
