The Forum Low is a chunky retro favorite that keeps coming back around — so let's settle it: do women's Forum Low run true to size?
We sell adidas at West Coast Deals, and I've worn the Forum plenty. Here's my honest read.
Do women's Forum Low run true to size? The short answer
Yes — true to size. The Forum is one of the roomier, more forgiving adidas silhouettes, and the leather softens beautifully with wear.
How they fit
I wear a women's 8.5 with an average-to-slightly-narrow foot, and true to size was comfortable and secure the moment I cinched the ankle strap — that strap is the whole secret to lockdown, so use it. Because the Forum runs roomy, even wider feet are generally happy at true to size; and if you're very narrow, the strap takes up the extra room so nicely.
What they are
The Forum Low is an '80s basketball shoe reborn as a chunky lifestyle sneaker — a leather upper with that signature ankle strap and a thick sole.
Final verdict
True to size — order your normal size and let the strap dial in the fit. Browse the White/Linen Green Forum, the full adidas Originals collection, and our adidas vs adidas Originals spotlight.
