FAQs

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Measure your foot length from heel to toe and compare it with the provided size chart. If your measurement falls between two sizes, it's generally recommended to choose the larger size for a more comfortable fit.

Are these shoes suitable for sports?

These shoes are designed primarily for casual wear and lifestyle. While they offer good support for walking and daily activities, they are not intended for high-impact sports or professional athletic training.

What is the material of the sole?

The sole is made of rubber gum, which provides durability and excellent traction.

How should I clean the leather upper?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For stubborn marks, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.

Can I put these shoes in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe.

What does 'Gum sole' mean?

A gum sole refers to a rubber sole that is typically tan or light brown in color, derived from natural rubber. It's known for its durability and grip.

Are these shoes unisex?

While listed with specific gender attributes in some variants, the classic design of the Forum Low is often considered unisex and can be worn by anyone who finds the style appealing and the fit comfortable.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Wear the shoes with thin socks for a short period to allow them to stretch naturally. If they remain uncomfortable, consider if a larger size is needed.

Gum sole losing grip

Clean the sole with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be affecting traction. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before use.

Leather creasing excessively

Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize it, avoid over-tightening the laces and ensure the shoes maintain their shape when stored. Using shoe trees can help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes require no assembly. Upon receiving them, ensure you have selected the correct size. It is recommended to try them on indoors to confirm fit before wearing them outside.

Compatibility: The adidas Forum Low Shoes are designed for general adult footwear use and are compatible with most casual attire. They pair well with jeans, shorts, and casual trousers.

Care: To maintain the condition of your leather shoes:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner.
  2. Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
  3. Protection: Consider using a leather protectant spray to guard against water and stains, especially for the suede or nubuck accents if present.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box, to maintain their shape and prevent damage.
