FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running or intense workouts?
The adidas Tekwen Slip-On Trainers are designed for general athletic activities, light workouts, and casual everyday wear. While comfortable and supportive, they are not specifically engineered for high-intensity running or specialized sports that require specific stability or cushioning technologies.
How do I clean my Tekwen Slip-On Trainers?
For best results, wipe the synthetic upper and rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Gently scrub any soiled areas. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
What does 'tennis DNA' mean in the description?
'Tennis DNA' refers to the design inspiration drawn from classic tennis shoe aesthetics. This often translates to a clean profile, comfortable fit, and supportive sole, reminiscent of court shoes, adapted for modern streetwear and comfort.
Do I need to wear socks with these slip-on trainers?
While the slip-on design allows for sockless wear, it is generally recommended to wear socks for hygiene, to prevent chafing, and to manage moisture, especially during active use. This can also help prolong the freshness of the trainers' interior.
Is the insole removable?
Info needed: [Please check your specific pair of trainers as insole removability can vary by model and production batch. If removable, it allows for easier cleaning or use of custom orthotics.]
Are these trainers true to size?
Adidas recommends trying on the Tekwen Slip-On Trainers to ensure the best fit. While they are designed with a regular fit, it's noted that the box or label may state US/Euro sizes which are different to the UK size you ordered.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or too loose.
Ensure you have the correct size. Adidas recommends trying them on, as US/Euro sizes can differ from UK sizing. If they are a new pair, allow a short break-in period for the materials to adapt to your foot.
Foot discomfort during wear.
Check if your socks are too thick or thin for the shoe's fit. Ensure you're wearing them for intended activities; while comfortable, they may not provide specialized support for certain high-impact sports. Consider after-market insoles if additional arch support or cushioning is needed (though this is a general solution, not product-specific).
Slipping on smooth surfaces.
Inspect the rubber outsole for excessive wear or accumulation of dirt/debris. Clean the outsole thoroughly with a brush and water to restore traction. If the outsole is significantly worn, replacement may be needed.
Unpleasant odor from trainers.
Regularly air out the trainers after use, especially in a well-ventilated area. Use an anti-bacterial shoe spray or place cedar inserts/baking soda sachets inside the shoes to absorb moisture and neutralize odors. Consider wearing moisture-wicking socks.

Care Instructions
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your Tekwen trainers:
- Cleaning: For general dirt and grime, gently wipe the synthetic upper and rubber outsole with a damp cloth or soft brush. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Allow your trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove any insoles (if removable - Info needed: [check if insole is removable]) and air out the trainers in a well-ventilated area. Shoe deodorizers or baking soda can also help.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Stuffing them with crumpled paper can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Submerging: Do not machine wash or fully submerge the trainers in water, as this can degrade adhesives and materials.
