Extended Product Information

FAQs

How do I tie the extended ribbons?

The ribbons can be tied in various ways, such as a simple bow, wrapped around the ankle and tied, or creatively styled. Experiment to find a look that suits you and your outfit.

Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?

These trainers are primarily designed for fashion and casual wear. While comfortable for walking, they are not engineered for high-impact sports or rigorous athletic activities.

What is the fit like?

The fit is generally true to size based on standard UK adult sizing. However, the ribbon fastening allows for some adjustability around the ankle and midfoot.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the delicate textile, floral pattern, leather accents, and adhesive components.

What is the main difference between the Taekwondo Mei and Taekwondo Mei Ballet series?

The 'Ballet' version often incorporates more refined design elements and styling, such as the extended ribbon fastening and potentially different material finishes, aiming for a more elegant aesthetic compared to the standard Taekwondo Mei model.

How durable is the floral textile upper?

The textile upper is designed for everyday wear, but the delicate floral pattern suggests it benefits from careful handling to maintain its intricate appearance and prevent snags or tears.

Troubleshooting

Ribbons become tangled or creased

Gently untangle the ribbons. For creases, a low-heat iron with a protective cloth may be used cautiously on the ribbons only.

Surface dirt on floral pattern

Use a soft, dry brush to remove loose dirt. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and blot gently, avoiding excessive moisture on the textile.

Leather accents look dull

Apply a small amount of appropriate leather conditioner with a soft cloth, following the product's instructions. Buff gently afterwards.

Outsole has stubborn marks

A magic eraser or a specialized shoe sole cleaner can be used carefully on the rubber outsole. Ensure it does not contact the upper materials.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the textile upper with a slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid harsh scrubbing on the floral pattern.
