FAQs
Are the adidas Forum Lows suitable for wide feet?
The Forum Low generally offers a standard fit. The adjustable ankle strap can provide some flexibility in fit around the ankle, but the overall width of the shoe is standard.
How do I know if I have the right size?
It's recommended to consult the adidas sizing chart for accurate measurements. Trying them on in person is the best way to ensure a comfortable fit, especially noting the length and width.
Can I wear these for running or sports?
The Forum Low is primarily a lifestyle sneaker designed for comfort and style during everyday activities. They are not designed for high-impact sports like running, basketball, or intense training.
How durable is the gum sole?
The gum rubber outsole is designed for durability and good traction for everyday wear. While resilient, it can show wear over time with extensive use, especially on abrasive surfaces.
What is the main difference between Forum Low and other Forum models?
The Forum Low features a shorter silhouette compared to mid or high-top versions, offering a more casual aesthetic. The 'CL' designation often refers to 'Classic', indicating a faithful re-creation of an original design.
How should I store my Forum Lows when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees or stuffing them with paper can help them retain their shape and prevent creasing.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the leather upper
Some creasing is natural with leather. To minimize it, ensure proper fit and avoid over-tightening laces. Storing with shoe trees can help maintain shape.
Difficulty adjusting the ankle strap
Ensure the hook-and-loop fastener is clean and free of debris. If the strap feels too tight or loose, adjust the lacing accordingly to compensate.
Discoloration of the white leather
Clean promptly after any contact with staining substances. Use appropriate leather cleaners and conditioners for white leather. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight which can cause yellowing.
Squeaking noise from the shoes
This can sometimes occur due to friction. Try talcum powder or a small amount of lubricant on the tongue or where parts of the shoe rub together.

Care: To maintain the appearance of your Chalk White Forum Lows:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean.
