FAQs
Is the adidas Forum Low true to size?
Yes, the Forum Low generally fits true to size for most adult users.
Can I use these for basketball?
While inspired by 80s basketball shoes, this model is designed primarily for lifestyle and casual use rather than competitive court performance.
How do I maintain the color of my black and grey sneakers?
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and clean regularly with a damp cloth to prevent dust and dirt buildup that can dull the finish.
Are these shoes made of real leather?
Yes, this version of the adidas Forum Low features a leather construction.
Does this shoe offer arch support?
The shoe provides a stable, flat-sole feel common to classic basketball trainers, which can be supplemented with custom insoles if you require specific arch support.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels too stiff after purchase
Wear the shoes around the house for short periods or use a leather conditioner to help soften the material.
Laces coming untied frequently
Ensure you are using a double-knot or replacing the laces with a slightly different texture if slippage persists.
Surface scuffs on the leather
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a slightly damp microfiber cloth to buff out minor surface marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your adidas Forum Low in top condition, follow these simple care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Break-in Period: If the leather feels rigid, wear them for shorter durations initially to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking and color fading.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit true to size for most adults, though those with wider feet might prefer to ensure the lacing is adjusted appropriately to maintain comfort throughout the day.
