FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally fit according to standard adult sizing, though the leather structure may feel snug initially.
Can these be used for heavy athletic sports?
While based on basketball heritage, these are intended for casual, daily wear rather than high-impact athletic performance.
How do I maintain the colour of the blue leather?
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to prevent fading and use a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and vibrant.
Is the sole non-marking?
Yes, the rubber sole construction is designed for daily indoor and outdoor use without leaving marks on surfaces.
Can I replace the insoles?
The insoles are generally removable, allowing you to swap them for custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels too stiff after initial wear
Wear them indoors with medium-thick socks for a few hours to help the leather gradually mold to your foot shape.
Creasing appearing on the toe area
This is normal for leather footwear. Use a shoe tree when not wearing them to help maintain the original structure and minimize deep creases.
Laces coming undone
Double knot your laces or ensure they are pulled tight through all eyelets to maintain the secure fit intended for the Forum silhouette.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last, follow these guidelines:
- Setup: Adjust the laces to your preferred tension upon first wear to allow the leather to flex naturally with your movement.
- Compatibility: These trainers pair best with denim, chinos, or athletic joggers, making them highly compatible with a modern adult wardrobe.
- Care: Wipe away surface dirt with a soft, damp cloth after use. For deeper cleaning of the leather, use a professional-grade leather cleaner and a soft brush. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the leather and adhesive components.
