FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
The adidas Forum 84 Low is designed primarily as a lifestyle and casual wear shoe. While comfortable for walking, they do not offer the specific support and cushioning required for intense athletic activities like running or basketball.
What is the primary material used for the upper?
The upper of these specific Forum 84 Low shoes is made primarily from soft white leather, accented with contrasting scarlet (red) details.
How do I find the correct size?
Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer. This guide specifies UK sizing. Ensure you measure your foot accurately and compare it to the chart. For this model, a specific example is UK size 12.5.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe.
What does the '84' in Forum 84 Low refer to?
The '84' typically indicates the year the original design or a significant iteration of the Forum model was released, highlighting its heritage.
Are there other color options available?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
This is common with new leather shoes. Wear them for short periods indoors to allow the leather to mold to your foot shape. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in period.
Leather surface shows minor scuffs.
Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth or a specialized leather cleaner/conditioner. For deeper scuffs, consult a professional shoe repair service.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
New shoe soles can sometimes have a slick coating. Gently scuffing the soles on a rough surface like concrete or using a very fine-grit sandpaper can improve traction. Ensure the soles are clean and dry.
