FAQs

How do I best clean the hairy suede material?

For optimal care, regularly brush your suede sneakers with a dedicated suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For tougher marks, a suede eraser can be used. Always apply a protective spray to guard against water and stains.

Are these sneakers suitable for all weather conditions?

Due to the suede material, these sneakers are best suited for dry weather. Suede can be sensitive to moisture, and while a protective spray helps, prolonged exposure to rain or wet conditions should be avoided to prevent damage and staining.

What makes this particular Forest Hills model unique?

This model is a collaboration featuring Brain Dead, identifiable by its unique black hairy suede, Pantone Branch green accents, and distinctive co-branded logos and embroidered motifs, setting it apart from standard Forest Hills editions.

Is the sizing true to fit?

Generally, adidas Forest Hills models are considered true to size. For this UK 6 adult size, we recommend selecting your usual shoe size. However, individual fit preferences can vary.

Can I use these sneakers for athletic activities?

No, the adidas Forest Hills is designed as a lifestyle sneaker, focusing on comfort and style for casual wear. It is not engineered for athletic performance or high-impact sports.

How often should I reapply suede protector?

The frequency depends on the specific product used and how often you wear the shoes. As a general guide, reapplying suede protector every few weeks or once a month, especially if worn frequently, is recommended to maintain its effectiveness.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or dirty.

Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove surface dirt and restore the nap. Brush in a single direction to keep the fibers consistent. For deeper dirt, a suede eraser can be applied to affected areas.

Water stains on suede.

If water stains occur, lightly dampen the entire affected area with a clean cloth, then allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap. Apply a water and stain protector regularly.

Sneakers feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you are lacing them correctly, not too tight. The suede material may require a short break-in period to soften and adapt to your foot shape. If discomfort persists, consider trying different socks.

Getting started with your adidas Forest Hills sneakers is straightforward:

  1. Lacing: Thread the laces through the eyelets to achieve a secure and comfortable fit. Experiment with different lacing styles for a personalized look.
  2. Initial Wear: Wear them for short periods initially to allow the suede and sole to conform to your foot shape.

  • Style: The black suede with green accents pairs well with a wide range of outfits, from casual jeans and t-shirts to more tailored streetwear looks.
  • Gender: Designed for adults, they offer a comfortable and stylish option for anyone seeking a sophisticated sneaker.

Care

Proper care is crucial for maintaining the premium look and longevity of your suede sneakers:

  • Protection: Before the first wear, apply a high-quality suede protector spray to help repel water and stains. Reapply periodically as recommended by the product.
  • Cleaning: For general dirt and dust, use a dedicated suede brush to gently brush in one direction. For tougher spots, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water directly on suede as it can leave marks.
  • Deep Cleaning: For stubborn stains, use a specialized suede cleaner following the product's instructions carefully. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Drying: If they get wet, stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and maintain their shape, then allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
  • Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape and prevent creases.
