FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the adidas Forum Low is designed as a lifestyle and fashion sneaker, not for athletic running.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from high-quality leather.
How do I clean the white parts of the sole?
Use a soft brush or a melamine sponge dampened with water to gently scrub the rubber edges.
Do these run true to size?
Yes, the Forum Low typically follows standard adult sizing. If you prefer a loose fit, you may want to wear thin socks.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives holding the sole together. Always hand clean.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels too stiff
Wear the shoes for short periods initially and use a leather conditioner to soften the fibers.
Outsole loses traction
Check the rubber sole for debris buildup and clean with a soft brush and warm soapy water.
Creasing at the toe box
This is normal for leather footwear; use shoe trees when storing to minimize deep set-in creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your adidas Forum Low trainers remain in peak condition, follow these simple care steps:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a damp cloth after use to remove dust. For tougher stains, use a mild leather-safe cleaner.
- Drying: Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to crack.
- Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shape of the toe box when not in use.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit standard adult sizing. If you find the leather feels snug, consider using thinner socks until the material breaks in.
