FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?

The Forum 84 Low ADV is designed with skate-specific enhancements, making it suitable for skateboarding, including regular use. However, professional-level demands may vary.

How do I clean the gum sole?

The gum sole can typically be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, a soft brush or melamine foam eraser might be effective.

What is the material of the shoe?

The primary material is leather, offering durability and a premium feel.

Can I wear these shoes for running or athletic training?

While comfortable for walking, these shoes are primarily designed for skateboarding and casual wear. They are not optimized for high-impact athletic training or running.

How does the sizing run?

Generally, adidas shoes run true to size. It is recommended to check size guides or try them on if possible.

What does 'ADV' stand for in Forum 84 Low ADV?

'ADV' typically signifies 'Advanced', indicating that this model has been updated with features optimized for skateboarding performance.

How should I store these shoes when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably with shoe trees to maintain their shape. Avoid direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Wear with thin socks initially or consider using a shoe stretcher. Leather will naturally mold to your foot over time.

Soles appear slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the gum sole is clean and free of debris. The grip may vary on highly polished or wet surfaces.

Leather creasing

Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize appearance, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid over-tightening laces.
