Is the ankle strap adjustable?
Yes, the iconic hook-and-loop ankle strap is adjustable, allowing for a customized fit and added support.
How should I clean the 'Wild Teal' sole?
Wipe the sole with a damp cloth. For more persistent dirt, use a soft brush and mild soap, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Are these suitable for playing basketball?

What does '84 Low' refer to?
The '84' refers to the original year the adidas Forum silhouette was released, and 'Low' indicates it is the low-top version of the classic design.
Does this model come in other colors?
Yes, the adidas Forum series is available in a variety of colorways and sibling models, though this specific product guide focuses on the 'White Wild Teal' UK 6.
What is the primary benefit of the ankle strap?

Troubleshooting
Laces keep coming undone.
Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot if necessary. The ankle strap also helps keep the shoe snug.
Squeaking noise when walking.
This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. It may resolve with wear. Check for any debris trapped in the sole or inside the shoe.
Leather appears creased or scuffed.
Minor creasing is normal with leather. For scuffs, use a leather conditioner or shoe polish matching the white color to minimize their appearance.
