FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the adidas Forum Low generally fits true to your standard adult UK shoe size.
Can I use these for basketball?
While they are basketball-inspired, they are designed for lifestyle and casual wear rather than modern high-performance court sports.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Use a damp cloth for surface dirt and a dedicated leather cleaner for stubborn stains. Avoid soaking the leather.
Are these suitable for all weather conditions?
The leather upper provides some resistance to light moisture, but they are not waterproof and should be avoided in heavy rain or deep snow.
What material is the sole made of?
The sole is constructed from durable rubber, designed to offer reliable grip and longevity.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe box
This is a natural occurrence in leather sneakers. Use a shoe tree when not wearing them to help maintain the shape and minimize deep wrinkles.
Stiff fit upon first wear
Wear the shoes for short intervals indoors first to let the leather soften and adapt to the shape of your feet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers fit true to size, but since they are made of leather, you may want to wear them with medium-thickness socks during the first few days to aid the molding process. To keep your adidas Forum Lows in top condition, wipe them down with a soft, damp cloth after exposure to dirt or salt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush, and always allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking. It is recommended to store them in a cool, dry place when not in use.
