Troubleshooting
Leather creasing significantly
This is normal for leather and part of the break-in process. Ensure proper fit to minimize excessive creasing. Stuffing with shoe trees when not in use can help maintain shape.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole provides good traction, but like all footwear, performance may be reduced on very wet or slippery surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.
Discomfort after initial wear
Leather trainers often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time to allow them to mold to your feet.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Durable and long-lasting leather construction.
- Comfortable cushioning for all-day wear.
- Excellent traction provided by the rubber outsole.

Cons
- Limited availability in specific colorways and sizes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These trainers require no assembly. Simply remove them from the packaging and they are ready to wear.
Compatibility: Suitable for adult males. The UK size 12 fits a standard foot measurement for that size. They are designed for casual wear and light athletic activities, not for specialized sports performance.
Care: To maintain the condition of your Adidas Forum 84 Low UNC trainers:
- Cleaning: Gently clean the leather upper with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For the sole, use a brush or damp cloth to remove dirt.
- Drying: If the trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources, as this can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box, to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
