adidas Originals Taekwondo Mei Ballet - Black - UK 6

No, while they draw inspiration from Taekwondo sneakers, the adidas Taekwondo Mei Ballet shoes are primarily designed for casual wear and light, everyday activities. They do not offer the support, cushioning, or stability required for running or high-impact sports.

The shoes come with 3 distinct lacing options. To change the style, simply unthread the current laces completely and re-thread them according to your desired look. You can experiment to find the aesthetic and fit that suits you best.

The soft suede upper is not designed for heavy wet weather. Prolonged exposure to water can damage the material and affect its appearance. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

The outsole is made of durable rubber, providing reliable traction and flexibility for everyday wear on various casual surfaces.

Generally, adidas shoes are true to size. We recommend purchasing your usual UK adult female shoe size. If you are typically between sizes, consider trying the next half size up for optimal comfort.

Use a soft suede brush to gently remove surface dirt and restore the nap. For deeper stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner following its instructions, always testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Adjust the lacing. The included 3 lacing options allow for different levels of snugness and can be customized to better fit your foot's width and instep. Experiment to find your optimal comfort.

Ensure the outsole is clean and dry. Sometimes a small amount of moisture or trapped air can cause this. If the issue persists, a light sprinkle of talcum powder inside the shoe under the insole can sometimes reduce friction and noise.
