FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?

While inspired by basketball heritage, the adidas Forum Mid is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker for casual wear. It offers good comfort and traction for everyday activities but is not intended for high-impact sports or professional athletic performance.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The best way to ensure a correct fit is to measure your foot and compare it to the adidas sizing chart. Ensure there is adequate room in the toe box and that the heel does not slip. The adjustable strap can help fine-tune the fit.

What is the primary material of the shoe?

The upper of the adidas Forum Mid is constructed from premium leather, with some synthetic elements for details like the mudguard and three stripes.

Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended for leather shoes. It can damage the material and affect the shoe's structure. Always clean them by hand following the care instructions provided.

What is the purpose of the hook-and-loop strap?

The hook-and-loop strap is an additional closure system placed over the laces. It helps to provide a more secure and customizable fit around the ankle and midfoot area.

How does the white and black colorway perform over time?

The white leather can show dirt more readily than darker colors. Regular cleaning as outlined in the care section will help maintain its appearance. The black accents are generally more resilient to visible dirt.

Is this shoe unisex?

This specific listing is for men's sizing (UK 6). While the style is often worn by all genders, the sizing is based on men's measurements. Please refer to the product details for specific gender or unisex designations if available for other variants.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have the correct size. Leather shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Adjust the hook-and-loop strap for a better fit.

Traction feels reduced on certain surfaces

Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly to remove any embedded dirt or debris that may be affecting grip.

Leather shows scuffs or minor marks

Use a leather conditioner or polish suitable for white leather to help cover minor blemishes and maintain the material's appearance. Address marks promptly.

Hook-and-loop strap loses its grip

Clean both sides of the strap, particularly the hook and loop sides, with a small brush to remove lint and debris. Ensure the strap is aligned correctly when fastening.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust from the leather upper. For stubborn stains, a mild leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid soaking the shoes in water.
  2. Laces and Strap: Clean laces separately. The hook-and-loop strap should be kept free of debris to ensure it functions correctly.
  3. Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole with a brush or damp cloth to maintain traction.
  4. Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources if they become wet.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe box or dust bag to protect the leather.
