What is the Forest Hills series known for?

The Forest Hills series by adidas is known for its classic, retro-inspired designs, often referencing vintage tennis or court shoe aesthetics.

Troubleshooting

Initial stiffness

New trainers can feel stiff. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in and mold to your feet.

Color transfer on socks

Dye from new, dark-colored footwear can sometimes transfer. This is common and usually reduces after a few wears. Ensure trainers are fully dry before wearing.

Sizing feels off

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If the fit is still not right, consider the availability of other sizes or models that might offer a different fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no setup; they are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility: Designed for adult males. Refer to the sizing chart for accurate UK size selection.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For stubborn marks, a mild shoe cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  2. Drying: Air dry the trainers naturally. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag, to maintain their shape and protect them from dust.
