FAQs
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is made of leather, providing durability and a premium look.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For stains, use a specialized leather cleaner sparingly, followed by a dry cloth. Allow to air dry away from heat.
Is this shoe suitable for running or intense sports?
The adidas Forum 84 Low UNC is designed primarily for casual wear and offers comfort for everyday activities. It is not specifically engineered for high-impact sports or running.
What does 'UNC' stand for in the product name?
UNC refers to the University of North Carolina, as the shoe's design and colorway are inspired by their basketball team colors.
How is the fit of the Forum 84 Low?
The shoe features a traditional lace-up closure for a secure and adjustable fit. Many find it to be true to size, but it's recommended to check sizing charts and consider personal preference for width and snugness.
What is the main benefit of the cushioned midsole?
The cushioned midsole is designed to provide comfort during wear and absorb impact, making the shoe suitable for extended periods of standing or walking.
Can I wear these in wet conditions?
While the rubber outsole offers traction, the leather upper is not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the material.
Troubleshooting
Laces not staying tied
Ensure laces are tied securely with a double knot or consider replacing them with different material laces that offer better grip.
Discomfort or rubbing
Adjust the lacing system for a more personalized fit. Ensure socks are worn correctly. If the issue persists, the shoe may not be the right fit for your foot shape.
Creasing on leather upper
Creasing is a natural part of leather wear. To minimize it, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape.
Slipping on smooth surfaces
The rubber outsole provides traction, but performance can be reduced on extremely wet or polished surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean; dirt can affect grip.
