FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for actual Taekwondo training or other martial arts?

While inspired by Taekwondo, the Adidas Taekwondo Mei is primarily designed as a fashion sneaker for casual wear and comfort. Its construction focuses on style and lightweight comfort rather than the rigorous demands of active martial arts training.

How do I determine my correct size for these laceless shoes?

These shoes are designed to be a slip-on with a snug fit. It's generally recommended to choose your standard UK shoe size for women. If you are typically between sizes, consider trying the larger size due to the fixed, laceless design.

Can men wear the Adidas Taekwondo Mei?

This specific model is designed for women, offering a women's specific fit and sizing. While anyone can wear what they prefer, the sizing and proportions are tailored for a female foot.

What is the material of the shoe's lining?

The Adidas Taekwondo Mei features a synthetic lining, providing a smooth and comfortable interior feel.

How durable is the rubber outsole?

The shoe is equipped with a durable rubber outsole designed to provide reliable traction and withstand regular casual wear, contributing to the shoe's overall longevity.

What does the product code 'JQ3012' signify?

JQ3012 is the unique manufacturer's product number (MPN) assigned by Adidas for this specific Taekwondo Mei model, used for identification and inventory purposes across different variants.

Is there any arch support in these shoes?

The Adidas Taekwondo Mei features an ultra-low profile design, which typically means a minimalist construction with less emphasis on prominent arch support compared to athletic running shoes. It offers a more natural, close-to-the-ground feel.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too loose or too tight due to laceless design.

The laceless design offers a fixed fit. If slightly loose, try wearing thicker socks. If too tight, consider if the size is correct; the leather may stretch minimally over time with wear, but a significantly tight fit might require a different size. Remember it's a 'ballet pump' style, designed for a snug, sock-like feel.

Leather upper appears dull or has minor scuffs.

Regularly clean the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For dullness, use a leather conditioner to restore its luster. Minor scuffs can often be minimized by gently rubbing with a soft cloth and a small amount of leather conditioner or a specialized leather balm.

Shoes make squeaking noises when walking.

First, check for any trapped debris between the outsole and upper. If the squeak persists, it might be due to friction between shoe components or the insole. Try removing the insole (if removable) and dusting the inside with a small amount of talcum powder or baking soda, then reinsert. If the squeak comes from the outsole, ensure it's clean and dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Getting started with your Adidas Taekwondo Mei sneakers is simple. As a laceless slip-on design, simply slide your feet into the shoes. Ensure your foot feels snug but not overly tight. There are no laces to tie or adjust.

Compatibility

These sneakers are specifically designed for adult women and this particular variant is a UK size 7. Their minimalist and sleek design makes them highly compatible with a wide range of casual and athleisure wear, from jeans and leggings to dresses and skirts. The core black color and striped pattern offer versatility, allowing them to pair well with most color palettes.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your leather Adidas Taekwondo Mei sneakers:

  • Cleaning the Leather Upper: Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner applied sparingly according to product instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Drying: If your shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can cause the leather to crack or stiffen.
  • Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather soft and prevent cracking. This is especially important if the shoes are worn frequently.
  • Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
  • Outsole Cleaning: Clean the rubber outsole with a brush and mild soap and water to maintain grip and prevent dirt buildup.
