Product Information
Full details
The adidas Forum Mid is a versatile, basketball-inspired trainer designed for adults seeking a blend of classic style and daily comfort. These unisex shoes are perfect for casual wear and light activity, offering durable support through their leather construction. A notable caveat is that as a mid-top design, they provide more ankle coverage than traditional low-top sneakers, which may require a short adjustment period for those accustomed to minimal silhouettes.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for high-intensity sports?
The Forum Mid is designed as a lifestyle trainer. While they feature basketball-inspired support, they are intended for daily casual use rather than professional sports performance.
How do I determine my size?
These trainers follow standard UK sizing. We recommend checking your existing footwear size or measuring your foot length to ensure the best fit.
Can I wear these in rainy weather?
The leather construction provides some protection, but they are not fully waterproof. It is best to avoid heavy downpours to keep the leather in optimal condition.
Does the black and cream color fade?
Like any dyed leather product, color can fade slightly with prolonged exposure to extreme sunlight. Storing them in a cool, dark place when not in use helps maintain vibrancy.
Is the leather upper easy to clean?
Yes, leather is generally easier to clean than mesh or suede. Wiping them down regularly with a soft cloth is usually sufficient for daily maintenance.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe box
Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the shape and minimize deep creases.
Scuff marks on the cream accents
Use a specialized sneaker eraser or a soft-bristled brush with mild soapy water to gently buff out surface stains.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your adidas Forum trainers last as long as possible, proper care is essential. Since the upper is constructed from leather, avoid submerging them in water or using harsh industrial cleaners. Instead, use a soft, damp cloth or a designated leather cleaner to wipe away dust and scuffs after wear. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to crack. Ensure you select your correct UK size, as the structure is firm and provides a consistent, true-to-size fit.
