FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the adidas Forum Low generally fits true to size, though personal preference for fit may vary.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives holding the sole together. Hand cleaning is recommended.
Are these suitable for playing basketball?
While inspired by court shoes, these are designed as lifestyle sneakers and lack the specialized performance technology needed for competitive sports.
How do I keep the white sections bright?
Wipe them down after every few wears to prevent dirt from setting into the grain of the leather.
What material are they made of?
The upper is constructed primarily of durable leather, providing a mix of structure and comfort.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the toe box
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather footwear. To minimize it, use shoe trees when the sneakers are not in use to maintain their shape.
Scuff marks on the white leather
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a magic eraser sponge (used lightly) to buff out surface-level scuffs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your adidas Forum Low trainers last, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap to wipe away surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Leather Care: Apply a leather-safe conditioner periodically to prevent the material from drying out or cracking.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the white leather to yellow over time.
- Lacing: Adjust the laces to your preferred tension to ensure the leather upper fits securely without causing pressure points.
