FAQs

Are these sneakers suitable for actual Taekwondo training?

No, while inspired by Taekwondo footwear, these sneakers are designed for lifestyle and casual wear. They do not offer the specialized support, cushioning, or grip required for rigorous martial arts training or high-impact sports.

How do I clean the white leather-like material?

You can clean the upper with a damp, soft cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution or a dedicated sneaker cleaner. Gently scrub the affected area, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Always air dry.

What is the sole height of these sneakers?

The sole height at its highest point is 1.5 cm, providing a low-profile feel.

Are these shoes true to size?

Adidas sneakers generally fit true to size. However, fit can vary slightly by individual foot shape. We recommend checking Adidas's official size guide for the most accurate measurement and referring to your usual UK shoe size.

What kind of material is the upper made from?

The upper is made from high-quality leather-like material, offering a durable and sleek appearance.

Can I machine wash these sneakers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the sneakers. Always hand clean and air dry them.

Do these sneakers offer good arch support?

Due to their low-profile, Taekwondo-inspired design, these sneakers offer minimal arch support compared to athletic shoes designed with specialized orthotics. They prioritize a lightweight, close-to-the-ground feel.

Troubleshooting

My white sneakers get dirty very quickly.

White sneakers, especially those with a leather-like upper, can show dirt easily. Implement a routine of wiping them down with a damp cloth after each wear. For deeper cleans, use a mild soap solution or a specialized sneaker cleaner as described in the care instructions.

The fit feels a bit tight or uncomfortable initially.

Like many new shoes, these sneakers might require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations around the house to allow the material to conform to your foot. Ensure you are lacing them correctly, not too tight, but secure. If discomfort persists, double-check your sizing against Adidas's size guide.

My sneakers are making a squeaking noise.

Squeaking can sometimes occur if there's moisture inside the shoe, or if the insole is rubbing against the inside of the shoe. Try removing the insole, cleaning the area, and possibly applying a small amount of talcum powder beneath the insole. Ensure shoes are completely dry before wearing.

Care Instructions

To keep your white Adidas Taekwondo Sneakers looking their best and extend their lifespan, follow these care tips:

  • Regular Cleaning: Wipe down the leather-like upper regularly with a damp, soft cloth to remove dust and light dirt.
  • Spot Cleaning Stains: For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution (e.g., diluted dish soap) or a dedicated sneaker cleaner. Apply with a soft brush or cloth, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach, abrasive cleaners, or stiff brushes, as these can damage the material.
  • Sole Care: Clean the rubber sole with a brush and a mild soap solution to maintain traction and appearance.
  • Drying: Always air dry your sneakers away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not machine dry.
  • Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees or crumpled paper inside to help retain their shape.
  • Water Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray designed for leather-like materials to add an extra layer of protection.
