FAQs
Are the Adidas Taekwondo Mei shoes suitable for Taekwondo practice or other martial arts?
No, while inspired by traditional Taekwondo footwear, the Taekwondo Mei shoes are designed for street style and casual everyday wear, not for actual martial arts training or high-performance athletic activities.
Do these shoes offer good arch support?
Due to their ultra-low profile and minimalist design, these shoes offer minimal arch support. They are best suited for casual wear where extensive support is not required.
Are these shoes true to size?
Adidas sizing can vary. We recommend consulting the official Adidas size chart to find your best fit. Generally, for casual slip-on shoes, many find them to run true to size, but individual foot shape can influence fit.
Can I wear these shoes in rainy weather?
The leather upper offers some protection, but these shoes are not waterproof. We advise avoiding heavy rain or prolonged exposure to moisture to preserve the material and overall condition of the shoes.
How do I keep the white 3-Stripes clean?
To clean the white serrated 3-Stripes, use a soft brush or a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Gently scrub the stripes, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Are these shoes available in other colors or materials?
The specific model described is available in Core Black/White with a leather upper. For other colorways or material variations, please check the broader Adidas collection or specific product listings.
What kind of activities are these shoes best for?
The Adidas Taekwondo Mei shoes are ideal for light walking, casual outings, social events, and enhancing your everyday fashion. They are designed for comfort and style in non-athletic settings.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too snug after wearing them for a while.
The laceless design offers a fixed fit. Ensure you selected the correct UK size. If slightly loose, wearing thicker socks might help. If slightly snug, the leather may soften and conform to your foot over time with regular wear. Consult the Adidas size guide before purchase to ensure the best fit.
Leather upper appears dull or dirty.
Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather shoe cleaner according to its instructions. Regularly cleaning will help maintain the leather's appearance. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Squeaking sound coming from the outsole when walking.
Squeaking can sometimes occur with new rubber outsoles on certain floor types or if there's moisture between the sole and the ground. Ensure the shoes are clean and dry. This issue often diminishes naturally with more wear as the outsole breaks in. If persistent, check for any debris lodged in the sole's grooves.
Serrated 3-Stripes appear discolored or dirty.
Gently clean the white serrated 3-Stripes with a soft brush or a cloth dampened with a mild soap solution. Be careful not to scrub too vigorously to avoid damaging the material or color.

- Cleaning the Leather Upper: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For dirtier spots, use a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear. Apply the cleaner sparingly and wipe away excess.
- Cleaning the Synthetic Lining: The synthetic lining can be gently wiped with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry.
