Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff on first wear
This is common with durable materials like CORDURA®. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the shoes to break in and conform to your feet.
Soles feel slippery on wet surfaces
While the rubber sole offers good traction, extreme wet conditions can reduce grip. Exercise caution on very slick surfaces.
Discoloration of the CORDURA® upper
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading. Clean with appropriate mild solutions as per care instructions.

Compatibility: The adidas Forum Low 'Black Grey' is designed for adult unisex wear and is compatible with most casual outfits.

Care: To maintain the appearance and durability of your adidas Forum Low shoes:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For stubborn marks on the CORDURA® material, a mild soap and water solution can be used sparingly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Sole: The rubber sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, a non-abrasive cleaner can be applied and wiped clean.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
