Product Information

Full details

The adidas Forum Mid in Clay Sesame is a premium, leather-constructed trainer designed for adults seeking a blend of basketball heritage and modern everyday versatility. Featuring a signature mid-top silhouette, it offers enhanced ankle support and a sophisticated brown-and-black aesthetic that pairs well with casual wardrobes. While these trainers provide excellent durability thanks to their high-quality leather build, potential users should note that the mid-top design provides a more structured fit compared to standard low-cut sneakers, which may require a brief break-in period.

FAQs

Is the adidas Forum Mid suitable for running?

No, these are classified as lifestyle trainers designed for fashion and casual walking, not for high-intensity athletic activities.

Does the leather require special treatment?

It is recommended to apply a water-repellent spray designed for leather to protect against moisture and stains.

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally fit true to standard adult UK sizing; however, since they are leather, they may feel snug at first.

Can I replace the insoles?

The insoles can typically be removed if you prefer to use custom orthotic inserts.

How do I clean the black detailing?

Wipe the black sections with a damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals that could cause the dye to bleed onto the clay sesame leather.

Troubleshooting

Leather surface has become scuffed

Use a matching brown shoe cream or leather conditioner to buff out scuffs and restore the colour.

The fit feels too tight around the ankle

Loosen the laces in the top eyelets and ensure the strap is not over-tightened during the initial break-in phase.

Creasing appearing on the toe box

Use cedar shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help the leather maintain its shape and reduce deep creases.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable leather upper withstands daily wear and tear.
  • Mid-top profile offers superior ankle support compared to low-cut trainers.
  • Versatile clay sesame and black colour scheme matches almost any casual outfit.
  • Classic heritage styling that remains timeless in modern fashion.

Cons

  • Leather material may feel stiff initially and require a short break-in period.
  • The mid-top design is less breathable than mesh-based athletic shoes.
  • Limited to specific sizing options within the Forum Mid series.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your adidas Forum Mid trainers remain in top condition, follow these simple care guidelines. Since the exterior is made of leather, avoid machine washing; instead, use a soft, damp cloth or a dedicated leather cleaner to remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, a specialized leather brush can help lift grime without damaging the finish. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or fading. For the best fit, ensure you select your correct UK size, as the leather structure has less 'stretch' than synthetic performance knit shoes.
