FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?

The Taekwondo Mei Elite is designed as a lifestyle shoe with a minimalist aesthetic. While they offer good ground feel, they are not optimized for high-impact sports or intense athletic training.

How should I clean the satin parts of the shoe?

Gently blot satin areas with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid soaking or using harsh detergents. For stubborn stains, professional cleaning is recommended.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is a combination of smooth satin and glossy leather.

What kind of fit can I expect?

These shoes feature a low-profile design and are designed for a snug, fashion-oriented fit. They may require a break-in period.

Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?

While the leather and rubber components offer some protection, the satin material is sensitive to moisture. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.

What does the asymmetric lacing do?

The asymmetric lacing is a design feature that provides a unique visual appeal and contributes to the shoe's modern, elevated finish.

Is this shoe available in other colors?

This specific guide pertains to the Black colorway with Silver accents. Availability of other colors may vary.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff initially

Leather and satin can take a short period to break in. Wear them for short durations initially to allow them to conform to your foot.

Satin material snagged or torn

Minor snags may be carefully trimmed with small scissors. For significant damage, professional repair may be necessary.

Discoloration on satin material

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. If discoloration occurs, consult a specialist for fabric restoration.

Rubber sole scuffed

Light scuffs on the rubber sole can often be removed with a pencil eraser or a specialized sole cleaner.
