FAQs
What is the primary material of the Adidas Forum Low White Black?
The upper is constructed from a combination of white and black leather.
Is this shoe suitable for basketball?
While inspired by basketball heritage, these are designed primarily as lifestyle and casual wear shoes. They offer support but may not meet the performance requirements for competitive basketball.
How do I adjust the ankle strap?
The ankle strap typically fastens with Velcro or a similar hook-and-loop system, allowing you to adjust the tightness for added support and a secure fit.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the leather upper is not waterproof. They offer some resistance to light moisture but are not designed for heavy rain or wet conditions.
Can I wear these with orthotics?
The shoes feature a cushioned insole that can often be removed to accommodate custom orthotics or wider insoles, depending on their thickness.
What is the main advantage of the perforated toe box?
The perforations in the toe box are designed to enhance breathability, helping to keep your feet cooler and more comfortable during wear.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Adidas or the retailer, using your UK foot measurement. Ensure you consider the shoe's width and fit preference.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear with thin socks initially and break them in gradually. Loosen the laces and the ankle strap. If persistent, consider if the size is appropriate or if insoles are needed.
Squeaking noise when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between different parts of the shoe. Ensure laces are tied properly and not too tight. If the noise persists, try a small amount of talcum powder under the insole.
Dirt or stains on leather
Use a damp cloth with mild soap or a dedicated leather cleaner. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first. Wipe gently and allow to air dry.
Reduced traction on the outsole
Clean the rubber outsole with a brush and water to remove embedded debris. Ensure the surface you are walking on is not excessively wet or oily.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and grime from the leather. For tougher stains, a mild leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid saturating the leather.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: A brush with mild soap and water is effective for cleaning the rubber and midsole components. Ensure they are dry before wearing.
- Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning. Hand wash with soap and water or place in a mesh bag and machine wash on a gentle cycle.
- Drying: Always air dry shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can damage the leather and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to maintain their shape and protect them from dust.
