FAQs

What makes the Forum 84 Low ADV different from the original Forum 84?

The 'ADV' (Skateboarding) designation indicates enhanced durability and functionality tailored for skateboarding, often including reinforced construction and improved cushioning compared to the original lifestyle version.

Are these shoes suitable for actual skateboarding?

Yes, the 'ADV' in the name signifies that these shoes are designed with features beneficial for skateboarding, such as enhanced durability and grip.

What is the primary material used in the upper?

The upper is primarily made of leather, offering a premium look and feel.

How should I clean the rubber sole?

The rubber sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush can be used.

What does 'White Gum' refer to in the colorway?

'White Gum' refers to the primary color of the shoe (Chalk White/Cloud White) combined with a gum-colored rubber outsole.

What is the expected lifespan of these sneakers?

With proper care and regular use for intended activities, these durable sneakers are expected to last a considerable time, with the rubber sole and reinforced construction contributing to longevity.

Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash leather shoes, as this can damage the material and affect the shoe's structure. Hand cleaning is the preferred method.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound from shoes

This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. Try wearing them for a few more days to break them in. Alternatively, sprinkle a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, focusing on the insole area, to absorb moisture that might be causing the squeak.

Discoloration on white leather

Use a specialized white leather cleaner or a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser can be used gently. Always test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.

Sole feels stiff or inflexible

New soles can be stiff. Wear the shoes regularly for short periods to allow them to flex and conform to your foot's natural movement.
