FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the adidas Forum 84 Low generally fits according to standard adult sizing. If you prefer a looser fit or wear thick socks, some users recommend sizing up by a half size.
Can I use these for playing basketball?
While inspired by basketball shoes, these are designed as lifestyle sneakers. They lack the technical support needed for competitive, high-intensity play.
How should I clean the leather?
Use a soft, damp cloth for regular cleaning. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner recommended for smooth leather products.
Is the sole non-marking?
The textured outsole is designed for street use and generally performs well, but standard care should be taken on polished indoor surfaces.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed from premium leather, providing durability and a classic, structured look.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are typically removable, allowing you to replace them with custom orthotics if preferred.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff during first use
Wear the shoes for shorter durations over the first week to allow the leather to naturally break in and conform to your foot.
Accumulation of dirt on the textured outsole
Use a soft-bristled brush with mild soapy water to gently scrub the grooves of the outsole, then air dry away from direct heat.
Creasing at the toe box
Natural leather creasing is expected with movement; use cedar shoe trees when not wearing to help the material maintain its shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your adidas Forum 84 Low shoes remain in top condition, follow these guidelines. Upon initial wear, the leather may feel stiff; wearing them for short periods initially will allow the material to contour to your foot shape. Regarding compatibility, the neutral brown palette pairs exceptionally well with denim, chinos, or casual joggers. For care, wipe down the leather exterior with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt and use a leather conditioner periodically to prevent cracking. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the leather finish and adhesive bonds.
