FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Adidas Forum Low generally fits true to size for most adults, though those with wider feet may prefer to go up a half size.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, it is highly recommended to avoid machine washing leather shoes, as water and heat can damage the leather material and the adhesives.
Are these suitable for playing basketball?
While inspired by basketball designs, these are intended as lifestyle trainers and do not provide the advanced support or cushioning required for competitive sports.
How do I clean the white portions if they become discolored?
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a mild soap solution with a soft-bristled brush, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
Is the leather genuine?
Yes, the product features high-quality leather construction as per the manufacturer specifications.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the toe box area
Use cedar shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the leather structure and minimize deep creases.
Surface scuffs on the leather
Apply a small amount of black leather polish or a leather conditioning cream using a soft cloth to blend and conceal minor abrasions.
Insole comfort decreases over time
Remove the original sockliner and replace it with a third-party orthotic or cushioned insole to restore comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers are made of leather, immediate care is essential to protect the finish. Upon unboxing, consider applying a leather-specific water and stain repellent spray to guard against the elements. To maintain the shoes, use a soft, dry brush to remove surface dust after each wear. If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the leather to crack. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees to help the leather maintain its shape and minimize deep creases in the toe box.
