FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for actual Taekwondo training?

While inspired by Taekwondo, their design is primarily for lifestyle and fashion. They are not optimized for the demands of rigorous athletic training.

How do I adjust the tie-up closure for the best fit?

Loosen the laces significantly before putting on the shoe. Once on, tighten the laces evenly and tie them securely around the leg to your comfort level. Ensure they are snug but not cutting off circulation.

What is the best way to clean the black leather?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains, a mild leather cleaner can be used sparingly, followed by conditioning to restore the leather's natural oils.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

The leather upper offers some protection, but they are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally.

What sizes are available?

These trainers are available in various adult UK women's sizes. Please refer to the sizing chart or available options for specific measurements.

Does the white secondary color (on some variants) require special cleaning?

If your specific variant has white accents, use a separate clean cloth or a specialized white shoe cleaner for those areas to avoid transferring color.

What material is the sole made of?

The sole is made of durable rubber, providing good traction for everyday wear.

Troubleshooting

Ties coming undone frequently

Ensure the laces are tied securely. Consider double-knotting them if they continue to loosen. Experiment with different lacing patterns if the standard tie is insufficient.

Leather appears dry or stiff

Apply a leather conditioner according to the product instructions. This will help restore moisture and suppleness to the material.

Slight rubbing or discomfort

Ensure the fit is correct. Wear the trainers with appropriate socks. If the issue persists, try adjusting the tie-up closure for a more personalized fit or consult shoe stretching guides.

Tread wear on the rubber sole

The rubber sole is designed for durability during casual use. Significant wear may indicate heavy usage. For minor wear, ensure the shoes are clean. For substantial wear, replacement may be considered after extensive use.

Care:

  1. Cleaning Leather: For general cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. Avoid soaking the leather.
  2. Drying: If the trainers get wet, stuff them with paper to help them retain their shape and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
  3. Conditioning: Periodically use a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
  4. Laces: Keep the tie-up laces clean and untangled. If necessary, they can be gently hand-washed.
