FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The adidas Sportswear Tekwen Slip-On Trainers are primarily designed for casual wear, walking, and light athletic activities due to their slip-on, laceless design. For serious running or high-intensity sports, we recommend trainers with traditional lacing systems for maximum foot security and support.
How do I clean my Tekwen Slip-On Trainers?
For the synthetic upper, wipe with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Clean the rubber outsole with a brush or damp cloth. Air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat.
Can I wear these trainers without socks?
While you can wear them without socks, we generally recommend wearing socks for hygiene, comfort, and to help manage moisture, especially during active use. The mesh tongue helps with breathability, but socks add another layer of protection.
What is 'Tennis DNA' in the description?
This refers to design inspiration drawn from classic tennis footwear. It means the trainers incorporate stylistic elements and possibly some comfort features commonly found in tennis shoes, giving them a sporty yet classic aesthetic.
Are these trainers true to size?
The Tekwen Slip-On Trainers are designed with a 'regular fit'. We recommend trying your usual UK shoe size. However, foot shapes vary, so if you are between sizes, consider trying both to ensure the best fit.
What are the main materials used in these trainers?
The upper is made of synthetic material, the midsole features a three-quarter EVA construction for cushioning, and the outsole is made of rubber for durability and grip. The tongue is made of breathable mesh.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or loose
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Trainer fit can vary slightly between models. Consider trying on a half size up or down if available. Also, the thickness of your socks can affect fit; try a different sock type.
Foot slides around inside the trainer
This could indicate the trainers are too large or your socks are too slippery. Try thicker socks, or if the issue persists, consider a smaller size. For slip-on trainers, a secure fit is crucial for comfort and stability.
Trainers develop an odor
Ensure you air out your trainers after each use. You can insert odor-absorbing packets or sprinkle baking soda inside when not in use. Regular cleaning of the interior with a mild disinfectant spray designed for footwear can also help.
Lack of grip on certain surfaces
Clean the rubber outsole regularly to remove accumulated dirt or debris that can reduce traction. Inspect the outsole for excessive wear; if the tread is significantly worn down, the grip will naturally diminish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Using your adidas Sportswear Tekwen Slip-On Trainers is as straightforward as it gets. Simply slide your feet in. No laces to tie, no complex adjustments needed. For optimal fit, consider wearing your usual athletic socks.
- Select Your Size: Ensure you have chosen the correct UK size for your foot. Refer to adidas sizing guides if unsure. (Note: The shoe box or label may state a US/Euro size that differs from the UK size; always verify the UK size if ordering online.)
- Slide In: Gently slide your foot into the trainer. The regular fit and slip-on design should make this easy.
- Adjust Socks (Optional): If wearing socks, ensure they are comfortable and not bunched up inside the trainer.
Compatibility

Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Tekwen Slip-On Trainers.
- Cleaning the Upper (Synthetic): For the synthetic upper, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap (if needed) to gently wipe away dirt and stains. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes which could damage the material.
- Cleaning the Outsole (Rubber): The rubber outsole can be cleaned with a brush or damp cloth to remove mud and debris, which also helps maintain traction.
- Cleaning the Mesh Tongue: Lightly brush or wipe the mesh area to remove dust. If it's more soiled, a soft cloth with mild soapy water can be used, then air dry thoroughly.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage materials.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup and odors.
