FAQs

What is the primary use of the Adidas Taekwondo Mei?

The Adidas Taekwondo Mei is primarily designed as a fashion sneaker for casual wear. It offers lightweight comfort and a sleek style for everyday activities.

Can I use these shoes for actual Taekwondo or other sports?

No, while inspired by martial arts, this updated version is not intended for high-performance sports like Taekwondo. Its design prioritizes fashion and lightweight comfort over athletic support and durability required for intense physical activity.

What material is the upper made from?

The upper of the Adidas Taekwondo Mei is crafted from premium leather, providing a sophisticated look and feel, and ensuring durability.

How do I clean my Adidas Taekwondo Mei shoes?

Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner. Avoid machine washing.

Are these shoes true to size?

Most users find them to be true to size, but some may find them to have a slightly narrow fit due to their ballet-inspired design. If you have wider feet, you might consider trying half a size up. Info needed: Customer reviews often provide good insight on sizing.

Do these shoes offer arch support?

As a ballet slip-on with an ultra-low profile, the Adidas Taekwondo Mei offers minimal arch support. If you require significant arch support, you may need to consider adding a low-profile insole.

What is the product code for this model?

The product code for the Adidas Taekwondo Mei is JQ3012.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable initially

Given the premium leather, a short break-in period may be required. Wear them for short durations around the house. Consider wearing thin socks or no-show socks. If discomfort persists, verify your size as leather can stretch slightly but a shoe that's too small will remain uncomfortable.

Scuff marks or minor scratches appear on the leather

For light scuffs, use a soft, damp cloth to gently rub the area. For deeper marks, apply a small amount of leather conditioner or polish designed for black leather, and buff with a clean cloth. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Shoes slip off the heel when walking

Ensure you have the correct size. If the shoe is slightly too big, you can try adhesive heel grips or pads, which can be placed inside the shoe to create a snugger fit around the heel. Thicker socks might also help if not too tight.

Care Instructions for Your Leather Taekwondo Mei:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the premium leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush or cloth.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can dry out and crack the leather.
  3. Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Follow the product instructions for best results.
  4. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
  5. Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the leather and structural integrity of the shoe.
