FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for athletic sports?
While rooted in basketball history, the modern Forum is primarily intended for lifestyle and casual everyday wear.
How do I determine the correct fit?
The adidas Forum generally fits true to size. If you prefer a roomier fit for thicker socks, consider a half-size up.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
The leather upper provides moderate protection against light splashes, but they are not fully waterproof.
Can the insoles be removed?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable if you need to insert your own custom orthotics.
What is the best way to clean the outsole?
Use a scrub brush with mild soapy water to remove debris from the grooves of the rubber sole.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels too stiff
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the leather to naturally conform to your foot shape.
Minor scuffs on the cream panels
Use a soft-bristled brush or a slightly damp melamine sponge to gently lift surface dirt from the lighter-colored sections.
Laces coming undone
Ensure they are double-knotted or adjusted to provide a tighter lock-down across the mid-foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your adidas Forum trainers remain in peak condition, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. To clean the leather, wipe the surface with a damp, soft cloth and mild soap; avoid submerging the shoes in water. Since these trainers feature a leather upper, using a leather-specific conditioner periodically will prevent cracking and maintain the material's supple texture. Check the laces regularly for wear and ensure the fit is snug but not restrictive to maximize the comfort provided by the mid-top support.
