FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for sports?

These are designed as lifestyle sneakers for everyday casual wear, not for rigorous athletic performance. While they offer comfort, they lack the specific support and features of performance athletic shoes.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure there is a comfortable amount of space at the toe (about a thumb's width) and that the heel does not slip excessively. The shoes should feel snug but not tight.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, these shoes are not waterproof. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or puddles. Using a leather protector spray can enhance water resistance.

What is the main difference between Forum Low CL and other Forum models?

The 'CL' often denotes a 'Classic' version, suggesting a focus on heritage design and materials. Specific differences can vary by release, but generally, CL models aim for a more traditional look and feel.

How often should I clean my Forum Low CL sneakers?

Clean them as needed based on wear and exposure to dirt. For daily wear, a quick wipe-down after use can help maintain their condition. Deeper cleaning should be done periodically.

Is the 'Chalk White' color true white?

Chalk White is typically an off-white or slightly creamy shade, offering a softer alternative to pure bright white.

Troubleshooting

Initial stiffness or discomfort

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in and mold to your foot shape. Consider wearing thicker socks during the break-in period.

Scuffs or minor marks on the leather

Gently clean the affected area with a soft cloth and a mild soap solution or a specialized leather cleaner. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser may be used with extreme caution on non-textured leather parts.

Discoloration due to dirt or weather

Clean promptly after exposure. Use appropriate leather cleaners. For persistent discoloration, professional cleaning might be an option.

Squeaking noise

This can sometimes occur between the tongue and laces or the insole. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or adjust the lacing.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains on the leather, use a specialized leather cleaner. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
