FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and light athletic activities. They are not specialized for high-impact running and may not provide the necessary cushioning or support for serious training.
How do I clean the orange accents?
Use a slightly damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the material or the colour.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage to the leather.
What is the primary material used?
The primary material for the upper is premium leather.
Is this a unisex model?
This specific listing is for men's sizing (UK 12.5). However, the Forum Mid series is often available in unisex sizing; please check other listings if needed.
How much ankle support do they offer?
The mid-top design provides moderate ankle support, suitable for casual wear and preventing minor twists.
Troubleshooting
Leather creasing excessively
Normal wear will cause some creasing. To minimize, ensure proper fit and avoid over-tightening laces. Use shoe trees when not in use.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole offers good grip, but caution is advised on very wet or slippery surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris.
Discomfort around the ankle
Ensure laces are adjusted for a comfortable fit, not too tight. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially.
Color transfer from leather to socks
This can occur with new leather items. It should reduce over time. Washing socks separately for the first few wears is recommended.
