FAQs

What material are the adidas Forum Mid trainers made of?

These trainers feature a luxurious coated leather upper, with a durable rubber outsole.

Are these trainers suitable for playing basketball?

While inspired by basketball heritage, these trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. They offer good support for everyday activities but may not provide the specialized performance needed for competitive basketball.

How do I clean the white leather upper?

Wipe the coated leather gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive water to prevent damage.

What does 'Mid' refer to in the product name?

'Mid' refers to the mid-top cut of the shoe, meaning it comes up to the ankle, offering more support and a distinct style compared to low-top versions.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

The leather can offer some protection, but they are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the material. Applying a leather protectant spray suitable for coated leather might offer additional water resistance.

What is the fit like for the adidas Forum Mid?

The fit is generally considered standard. The adjustable strap allows for some customization to secure the foot. It's recommended to try them on if possible or consult sizing charts for the best fit.

How does the hook-and-loop strap function?

The hook-and-loop strap is located above the laces and provides an additional point of adjustment to secure the ankle area for a personalized and snug fit.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears creased or scuffed.

Minor creases are natural with leather. For scuffs, try a leather conditioner or a specialized leather cleaner for coated leather. For deeper scuffs, professional repair may be needed.

Traction feels reduced on certain surfaces.

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. If the outsole appears worn down, it may be time to consider replacement.

Discomfort or pinching during wear.

Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly and the hook-and-loop strap is secured appropriately. Break-in the shoes with short periods of wear initially. Consider using thicker or thinner socks as needed.

Water damage or staining on leather.

Wipe away excess water immediately with a soft cloth. For stains, use a cleaner specifically designed for coated leather. Always allow to air dry naturally away from heat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

These trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility:

The adidas Forum Mid trainers are designed for adult use and are compatible with casual wear. They pair well with a variety of clothing styles, including jeans, shorts, joggers, and casual dresses.

Care:

  • Cleaning the Leather: Gently wipe the coated leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and smudges. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Suede/Nubuck Areas (if applicable): Use a specialized suede brush to clean these areas. Do not use water.
  • Midsole and Outsole: Clean with a mild soap and water solution using a soft brush or cloth.
  • Laces: Remove laces and hand wash them separately with mild detergent, or place them in a mesh laundry bag and machine wash on a gentle cycle.
  • Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat or sunlight, which can damage the materials. Stuffing with paper can help maintain shape and absorb moisture.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and damage.
