adidas Forest Hills - Grey, Suede, UK 9

adidas shoes generally fit true to size. For the best fit, it's recommended to refer to the official adidas size chart or try them on if possible, especially since this is a UK 9 adult male size.

It is highly recommended to avoid wearing these suede sneakers in heavy rain. Suede can be easily damaged and stained by water. If they do get wet, follow the care instructions provided in this guide.

The rubber outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, a sneaker cleaning solution or an old toothbrush can be used to scrub the rubber gently.

The collaboration with Brain Dead is evident in subtle design elements, unique co-branded patches on the tongue and heel, and specific material choices like the hairy suede, differentiating it from standard Forest Hills releases.

While 'Ecotex' often implies eco-friendly materials, specific details on its environmental impact for this product are not provided. It refers to a type of textile used for the tongue.

No, while the original Forest Hills was a tennis shoe, this collaborative suede version is intended for casual, lifestyle wear, not for athletic performance or high-impact sports.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper dirt, a suede eraser can be effective before brushing.

Stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Allow to air dry completely. Once dry, use a suede cleaner specifically designed for water stains, following product instructions. A suede brush can then help restore the texture.

Lightly rub the affected area with a suede eraser. For deeper scuffs, gently buff with a fine-grain sandpaper (like 400-grit) and then brush with a suede brush to lift the nap. Be very careful not to damage the material.

Remove insoles if possible and air them out. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and let it sit overnight to absorb odors, then vacuum or shake out. Shoe deodorizers or cedar shoe trees can also help.
