FAQs

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is primarily made of leather, offering durability and a classic look.

Are these suitable for professional skateboarding?

While designed with enhanced durability and functionality, they are best suited for recreational skateboarding and everyday wear. For professional use, consider specialized skate shoes.

How do I clean the 'gum' sole?

Use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners which can damage the rubber.

What does 'ADV' stand for in Forum 84 Low ADV?

ADV typically refers to 'Advanced', indicating a version of the shoe with updated features for improved performance and durability, often tailored for skateboarding.

What is the main benefit of the molded sockliner?

The molded sockliner provides enhanced comfort and support, helping to reduce fatigue during extended wear.

Is the 'White Gum' colorway true to the original Forum 84?

Yes, the 'White Gum' colorway is inspired by the classic Forum 84 series, featuring a combination of white and gum rubber elements for a stylish, timeless look.

How should I store these trainers when not in use?

It is recommended to store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them.

Troubleshooting

Tight fit or discomfort

Wear the trainers with socks for short periods to allow the material to mold to your feet. Consider using a shoe stretcher if persistent tightness occurs.

Scuffs or marks on leather

Use a leather cleaner specifically designed for white leather. For minor scuffs, a specialized leather eraser or a magic eraser (used very gently) may help.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes be due to moisture trapped between layers or a loose insole. Try drying the shoes thoroughly. If the insole is removable, check for debris underneath.

Rubber sole discoloration

The 'gum' sole can naturally darken with age and exposure to certain surfaces. Mild cleaning with soap and water can help maintain its appearance. Avoid prolonged contact with harsh chemicals.
