FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, these shoes are designed for casual wear and do not offer the specialized support or cushioning required for running or athletic performance.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a mild leather cleaner and conditioner, testing on a small area first. Always air dry.
What is the main advantage of the high-top design?
The high-top design provides a classic aesthetic and offers additional ankle support and a secure feel.
How does the velcro closure work?
The velcro strap provides an additional, adjustable closure mechanism over the laces, allowing for quick fitting and a secure lockdown.
What kind of socks should I wear with these?
Any casual socks will work. Consider the thickness of the socks when breaking in the shoes to achieve the best fit.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, these shoes are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the material.
What does 'Forum 84' refer to?
'Forum 84' refers to the specific design iteration of the iconic Adidas Forum basketball shoe, first released in 1984, with the '84' indicating a vintage-inspired re-release.
Troubleshooting
Leather creasing excessively
This is natural with leather. Wear the shoes and allow them to conform to your foot's natural movement. Avoid over-tightening laces, which can exacerbate creasing.
Velcro strap losing stickiness
Ensure the velcro is clean and free of lint or debris. Gently brush the hook-and-loop surfaces. If wear is significant, consult shoe care resources for potential treatments or replacements.
Discoloration on leather
Use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner appropriate for the shoe's colour. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
Slightly tight fit
Wear the shoes for short periods initially. The leather will stretch and conform to your foot shape over time. Consider using thicker socks during initial wear to help stretch.
