FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?

The Forum 84 Low ADV is designed with skateboarding in mind and offers good durability and traction for recreational and intermediate skaters. For professional-level demands, highly specialized skate shoes might offer additional performance features.

How do I clean the 'Collegiate Navy Gum' colorway?

Use a damp cloth for general cleaning. For the leather, a specialized leather cleaner can be used. The gum sole can be wiped clean; use a magic eraser for scuffs cautiously.

Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?

While the leather offers some resistance, these shoes are not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally.

What is the difference between the ADV and other Forum models?

The 'ADV' designation indicates that these models are specifically adapted for skateboarding, often featuring enhanced durability, better board feel, and specific design elements favored by skaters.

How does the sizing run for the Forum 84 Low ADV?

Sizing generally follows standard UK adult shoe sizing. However, fit can be subjective. It's recommended to try them on if possible or consult size charts and customer reviews for fit guidance.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper of the adidas Forum 84 Low ADV 'Collegiate Navy Gum' GX9755 is primarily made of leather.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you are wearing the correct size. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially. Consider using thinner socks if the fit is snug.

Gum sole is scuffed or dirty

Clean the sole with a damp cloth. For persistent scuffs, try a magic eraser or a mild leather cleaner, testing in an inconspicuous area first.

Leather shows signs of wear or creasing

This is normal for leather products, especially with active use. Clean regularly with a damp cloth and condition the leather periodically to maintain its suppleness.

Traction feels reduced on the skateboard

Ensure the gum sole is clean and free from debris. Check for excessive wear on the sole pattern, which may indicate the need for replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These shoes come ready to wear directly out of the box. No specific setup is required.

Compatibility: The Forum 84 Low ADV is designed for general adult foot sizes and is compatible with most common sock types. Its versatility means it pairs well with a wide range of casual apparel.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  2. Gum Sole Maintenance: The gum sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth. For scuffs, a mild abrasive cleaner or a magic eraser can sometimes be effective, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
  3. Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage the leather and adhesives.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or box, to protect them from dust and direct sunlight when not in use.
