FAQs
What material are the Adidas Originals Forum trainers made from?
These trainers feature a durable leather upper and a rubber sole.
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
While inspired by basketball style, these trainers are primarily designed for comfortable everyday casual wear and may not offer the specialized support required for intense athletic activities.
How should I clean the grey leather upper?
Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For stains, use a specialized leather cleaner sparingly. Allow to air dry and avoid direct heat.
What is the fit like for these trainers?
The fit is standard for a trainer, but it is always recommended to check sizing guides and consider your usual footwear fit. The lace-up design allows for adjustability.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the leather and rubber offer some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended, and they should be dried thoroughly if they get wet.
What does 'Forum Series' refer to?
The 'Forum Series' refers to a line of Adidas footwear that draws inspiration from classic 1980s basketball shoe designs.
What is the recommended way to store these trainers?
Store them in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. Avoid storing in sealed plastic bags.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overtightened. If still too tight, consider wearing thinner socks or exploring if the shoes will naturally stretch with wear.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between parts of the shoe. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole, or where the tongue meets the laces.
Leather appears dry or scuffed
Apply a leather conditioner or cream specifically designed for the type of leather used. For scuffs, a leather repair crayon or polish in a matching colour can help conceal them.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the rubber sole is clean and free of debris. For persistent slipperiness on very smooth surfaces, consider consulting a cobbler about adding grip enhancers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no assembly. They are ready to wear out of the box.
Compatibility: Suitable for adult wear. Designed for casual use and pairing with everyday attire.
Care:
- Cleaning the Leather Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For tougher stains, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid soaking the leather.
- Cleaning the Sole: Use a brush or damp cloth to clean the rubber sole. Mild soap can be used if necessary, but rinse thoroughly.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Using a shoe tree can help preserve their shape. Avoid storing in plastic bags, which can trap moisture.
