FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the adidas Forum Low CL are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort, not for high-impact athletic activities like running. Specialized running shoes offer the necessary support and cushioning for such purposes.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the adidas sizing chart for accurate measurements. These shoes are listed in UK sizes. It is recommended to try them on if possible or measure your foot length to compare with the chart.
Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?
While the leather can offer some protection, these shoes are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may saturate the material. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in very wet conditions and to treat the leather with a water-repellent spray for added protection.
What is the primary material used in these shoes?
The primary material for the upper is leather, offering a classic look and feel. The outsole is made of durable rubber.
How often should I clean my Forum Low CL shoes?
Clean your shoes as needed, depending on usage and exposure to dirt. For regular wear, a quick wipe-down after use can help maintain their appearance. Deep cleaning should be done when visibly dirty.
Is the ankle strap adjustable?
Yes, the Forum Low CL features a hook-and-loop ankle strap that allows for an adjustable and secure fit.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or stiff initially
This is common with leather shoes. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time. Socks can help stretch the material comfortably. A shoe stretcher can also be used.
Difficulty adjusting the ankle strap
Ensure the strap is aligned correctly before fastening. If the hook-and-loop closure is losing grip, clean both sides of the hook and loop material with a brush to remove debris.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
The rubber outsole provides grip, but performance can vary on wet or highly polished surfaces. Ensure the sole is clean. If slippage persists, consider alternative footwear for those specific conditions.
Leather shows creases or scuffs
Creasing is natural with leather. Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth or a leather conditioner. For deeper marks, consult a professional shoe repair service.

- Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally away from direct heat sources. Do not use a dryer.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or their original box to maintain shape and prevent dust buildup.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to guard against water and stains, especially for the white leather sections.
