FAQs

Are the Adidas Forum 84 Low ADV good for wide feet?

The Forum 84 Low ADV generally offers a standard fit. While some users with slightly wider feet find them comfortable after break-in, they are not specifically designed as wide-fit shoes. It's recommended to check customer reviews or try them on if possible.

What is the main difference between these and regular Forum sneakers?

The ADV (All Day, All Day) designation signifies that these are specifically engineered for skateboarding, featuring enhanced durability, improved board feel, and a grippier sole compared to casual Forum models.

How long does the leather upper typically last for skateboarding?

The lifespan of the leather upper depends heavily on the frequency and intensity of skating. With regular use for tricks, expect some wear and tear. Proper care and maintenance can extend their usability.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the leather offers some resistance, these shoes are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry conditions. Extended exposure to wet weather can damage the materials and affect performance.

What size UK should I order if I usually wear US size 9?

A US size 9 typically corresponds to a UK size 8.5. However, sizing can vary slightly between brands, so it's always best to consult the specific Adidas size chart or customer feedback for this model.

Do these have good arch support?

The Forum 84 Low ADV provides moderate cushioning and support suitable for skateboarding. They do not offer specialized orthopedic arch support. If significant arch support is needed, consider using insoles.

Where were these shoes made?

Information regarding the specific country of manufacture is not detailed in the product description. Adidas products are manufactured in various locations globally.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and adjust for a more comfortable fit. If still too tight, consider if the size is appropriate or if a break-in period is needed.

Laces fraying quickly

Ensure laces are not tied too tightly, which can cause premature wear. Consider replacing with more durable skate-specific laces.

Slight squeaking sound

This can sometimes occur with new shoes due to friction between materials. It often resolves with wear or can be addressed by lightly dusting the tongue area with talcum powder.

Leather scuffing

Minor scuffs are normal with skate use. They can be lightly buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper scuffs, consider a leather cleaner or conditioner.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Classic, attractive retro design.
  • Durable construction suitable for skateboarding.
  • Good board feel for technical tricks.
  • Comfortable for all-day wear.

Cons

  • May require a break-in period for optimal comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure the laces are adjusted for a comfortable and secure fit before use.

Compatibility: The Forum 84 Low ADV is designed primarily for skateboarding. While compatible with most skateboard decks, the specific grip and feel may vary based on the deck's griptape.

Care:

  • Clean the leather upper with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean.
  • Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
  • To maintain shape, stuff with paper when not in use.
  • Condition leather periodically to keep it supple.
