FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for basketball?
While based on basketball heritage, the Forum Mid is designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear rather than modern high-intensity sports performance.
How do I choose the correct size?
The adidas Forum Mid generally fits true to size. If you prefer a roomier fit or plan to wear thick athletic socks, some users prefer to go up half a size.
Are they water-resistant?
The leather upper provides some protection against light moisture, but they are not fully waterproof and should be kept away from heavy rain or puddles.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are generally removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if required.
How often should I clean my trainers?
To maintain their appearance, a quick wipe down after heavy use is recommended. A thorough cleaning is usually only needed once every few weeks depending on usage.
Troubleshooting
Leather showing creases from walking
This is a natural characteristic of high-quality leather. Use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the shape and minimize deep-set creases.
Shoes feel too tight initially
Leather will soften with wear. Try wearing them around the house for short periods with slightly thicker socks to help gently stretch the material.
Scuff marks on the cream accents
Use a specialized rubber eraser for footwear or a soft cloth with a tiny amount of leather conditioner to buff out superficial marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your adidas Forum Mid trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tension. Because these are leather, they will slightly contour to your foot shape over the first few wears.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth. Use a mild leather cleaner for stubborn stains. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the leather and adhesive.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the colours from fading or the leather from drying out.
- Protection: Consider applying a leather protectant spray to repel dirt and moisture, ensuring you test a small area first to check for colour fastness.
