FAQs
Are these suitable for professional skateboarding?
While the Forum 84 Low ADV offers enhanced durability, it is primarily designed for everyday wear and casual sports. For professional skateboarding, dedicated skate shoes with specialized features might be more appropriate.
How do I clean the gum sole?
The gum sole can be cleaned with a soft brush or cloth using mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive materials that could damage the rubber.
What is the difference between 'White Gum' and other colorways?
The 'White Gum' colorway features a distinctive gum-colored rubber sole, contrasting with the Chalk White/Cloud White leather upper. Other colorways will have different sole colors and potentially variations in upper materials or accents.
Is the sockliner removable?
The molded sockliner is designed for integrated comfort and support. While it may be possible to remove it, it is not intended for regular removal and doing so could affect the shoe's fit and comfort.
How durable is the leather material?
The leather used in the Forum 84 Low ADV is chosen for its strength and resilience, designed to withstand regular wear and tear associated with daily activities and casual sports.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The leather can offer some resistance to light moisture, but they are not waterproof. For heavy rain, it is recommended to avoid wearing them or to ensure they are properly treated with a water-repellent spray.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
Leather will stretch and mold to your foot over time. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur with new rubber soles. Ensure the sole is clean and dry. If it persists, a small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.
Discoloration on white leather
Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner. Apply a leather protector after cleaning to prevent future stains.
