FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and light activities. They are not optimized for high-impact sports like running, which require specialized footwear.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to the adidas sizing chart, paying close attention to the UK size. As they are unisex, consider how you typically prefer your footwear fit.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, they are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Using a waterproofing spray can enhance their resistance.
What material are the trainers made of?
The primary material for the upper is leather, complemented by a rubber sole for traction.
What is the main inspiration behind the Forum Mid design?
The design is inspired by the iconic adidas Forum basketball shoes, bringing a piece of basketball heritage to a modern, casual sneaker.
How should I store these trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and damage.
Is the ankle support significant?
The mid-top design provides moderate ankle support, which is beneficial for casual wear and adds a layer of protection compared to low-top trainers.
Troubleshooting
Tinges in colour
Wipe with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft brush.
Laces becoming worn
Replace laces with standard trainer laces of a similar length and style.
Reduced cushioning over time
While the primary cushioning is built-in, consider using aftermarket insoles for added comfort if needed.
Slight stiffness on first wear
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in naturally. The leather will soften with use.
