FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for playing basketball?
While inspired by classic basketball shoes, the Forum 84 High is designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear. For serious athletic performance, specialized basketball shoes are recommended.
How do I adjust the ankle strap?
The ankle strap typically fastens with Velcro or a buckle mechanism. Adjust it to your comfort level to provide a secure fit around your ankle.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from a combination of premium leather and suede, offering both durability and a premium aesthetic.
How should I clean the cream-colored leather parts?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the leather clean. For stains, a mild leather cleaner can be used cautiously. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear these trainers in wet conditions as the leather and suede materials can be damaged by excessive moisture. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally.
What is the fit like for UK 12.5?
The Forum 84 High generally follows standard UK sizing. For a UK 12.5, expect a comfortable fit, but individual foot shapes may vary. The ankle strap allows for some adjustment.
Does this model come in other colors?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the ankle strap and wear with appropriate socks. Allow for a break-in period as the materials will naturally adapt to your foot shape.
Suede texture appears matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap. For stubborn dirt, a specialized suede cleaner may be required.
Leather appears dry or creased
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner using a soft cloth and buff gently. This will help restore moisture and suppleness.
Unpleasant odor inside the shoes
Ensure shoes are properly aired out after wear. Use a shoe deodorizer or baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.
