FAQs
Is the adidas Forum 84 Low suitable for wide feet?
The design offers a standard fit. While leather does stretch slightly over time, individuals with wider feet may find the toe box snug initially.
Can these shoes be worn for basketball?
While based on basketball history, these are lifestyle shoes. It is recommended to use modern performance-specific footwear for actual court sports.
How do I best clean the white leather?
Use a mixture of mild soap and warm water with a microfiber cloth, or a dedicated leather cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
The leather provides some protection against light moisture, but they are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may damage the material.
Does the red color bleed onto the white sections?
Under normal wearing conditions, the dyes are stable and should not bleed if cared for correctly and kept away from excessive soaking.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the standard insoles in the Forum 84 Low can typically be removed if you need to insert custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the toe box area
Creasing is natural for leather footwear. Using a shoe tree when not in use helps maintain the shape and minimize deep wrinkles.
Dirt accumulation in the leather textures
Use a soft-bristled brush or an old toothbrush to gently scrub dirt out of the grains without damaging the leather finish.
Stiff leather feel during initial wear
Wear the shoes for short periods around the house to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot shape naturally.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best fit, ensure your UK size 6.5 matches your existing adidas footwear, as sizing is generally consistent across the Forum series. No complex setup is required; simply adjust the laces upon the first wear to achieve your desired lockdown. To maintain the appearance of the leather, wipe the surface regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner to prevent the material from drying out. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the leather and the bond of the adhesive components. Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading on the red accents.
