FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the Forum 84 Low generally fits true to size. If you prefer a looser fit or plan to wear thick socks, some users recommend going up a half size.

Can these be used for basketball?

While based on a heritage basketball design, these are lifestyle shoes. They lack the advanced technical cushioning required for competitive court performance.

Are they waterproof?

They are not waterproof. The leather upper is water-resistant to a degree, but heavy rain can damage the material if not dried properly.

How do I clean the inner lining?

Use a damp cloth with a tiny amount of mild soap. Avoid soaking the interior to prevent the glue from weakening.

Is the sole non-marking?

Yes, the rubber outsole is designed for court use, making it non-marking for gym floors.

Do these shoes offer arch support?

They provide standard support consistent with flat-soled sneakers. Those requiring significant arch support may want to insert custom orthotics.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight during first wear

Loosen the laces significantly to allow the leather upper to expand and mold to your foot shape over the first few days of wear.

Visible creases forming on the toe box

This is a natural characteristic of leather footwear. Use a shoe tree when not wearing the shoes to help retain their structural form.

Difficulty keeping the white soles clean

Use a dedicated sneaker cleaning solution or a mixture of baking soda and mild detergent with an old toothbrush to scrub the rubber outsole.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Timeless design that works well with casual and semi-casual outfits
  • High-quality construction ensures long-term durability
  • Versatile color scheme that resists showing dirt easily
  • Comfortable fit for everyday walking and light activity

Cons

  • Initial stiffness of materials requires a break-in period
  • Limited color palette focused on neutral earth tones
  • Low-top design offers less ankle support than mid or high-top models

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Forum 84 Lows stay in top condition, follow these guidelines. When first wearing the shoes, use a shoehorn to avoid crushing the heel collar. For cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry debris from the leather and outsole. For deeper stains on the leather, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, then allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators. Because these are classic court shoes, they pair best with relaxed-fit trousers or jeans that highlight the silhouette of the shoe. To maintain the shape of the footwear when not in use, consider using cedar shoe trees or stuffing them with acid-free paper.
