FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for beginners in skateboarding?

Yes, the Forum 84 Low ADV features enhancements that offer good support and durability, making them suitable for both beginner and experienced skaters.

How do I know if I have the right size?

It's recommended to try them on, as shoe fits can be personal. Ensure there is comfortable room in the toe box and a secure fit around the heel and midfoot.

What is the difference between these and regular Forum 84s?

The ADV (Advanced) designation signifies skateboarding-specific upgrades, such as increased durability, improved cushioning, and a sole designed for better board feel and grip.

How should I clean the gum sole?

Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For more persistent marks, a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush can be effective, followed by rinsing with a clean damp cloth.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is primarily constructed from premium leather, offering a balance of durability, comfort, and style.

Can these shoes be worn in wet conditions?

While the leather can withstand some moisture, they are not waterproof. It is best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or puddles. Ensure they are dried thoroughly if they get wet.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight initially

Allow for a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time as the leather molds to your foot.

Gum sole is dirty and losing grip

Clean the sole with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean and air dry.

Leather shows scuff marks

For minor scuffs, try using a leather conditioner or a specialized leather cleaner. For deeper scuffs, professional leather repair may be considered.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These shoes require no assembly. They are ready to wear out of the box. It is recommended to try them on to ensure a comfortable fit before engaging in strenuous activity.

Compatibility:

While designed with skateboarding in mind, these shoes are compatible with various casual outfits. They are suitable for adult use.

Care:

  • Cleaning Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For tougher stains, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid soaking the shoes in water.
  • Suede/Nubuck (if applicable to specific parts): Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt and maintain texture.
  • Sole: Clean the gum sole with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the rubber.
  • Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources if they become wet. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and sunlight.
