FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for actual Taekwondo training?
While named 'Taekwondo Trainers,' their minimalist design and soft feel make them more suited for casual wear and light activities. For intensive Taekwondo training, you might require specialized footwear with more targeted support and grip than these offer.
How do I determine the correct size?
These trainers come in UK sizing. It's recommended to measure your foot length and refer to the adidas sizing chart if available. If unsure, consider trying them on, or if purchasing online, check return policies.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended for these leather trainers. It can damage the leather, adhesives, and overall structure. Always clean them by hand following the care instructions provided in this guide.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper of the adidas Taekwondo Trainers is made from high-quality leather, providing durability and a premium feel.
Do these trainers offer arch support?
These trainers feature a flat profile for a minimalist feel. While they offer inherent comfort, specific enhanced arch support is not a stated feature. If you require significant arch support, you might consider adding custom insoles.
How durable is the rubber outsole?
The rubber outsole is designed for durability and provides reliable traction for everyday wear. With proper care, it should withstand regular use over a long period.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations, gradually increasing wear time. Consider wearing thicker socks during this phase. The leather will soften and mold to your foot with use.
Squeaking sound when walking
A common cause can be trapped air or friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning the area, and reinserting it. If it persists, a thin layer of baby powder under the insole can often reduce friction.
Scuffs or minor marks on the leather
For light scuffs, a soft, damp cloth can often buff them out. For deeper marks, a small amount of leather conditioner or a black shoe polish (matching the trainer's color) applied with a soft cloth can help conceal them. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions ### Setup 1. Lacing: Ensure laces are threaded evenly through all eyelets. Start with a looser fit and gradually tighten to achieve a snug, comfortable feel without pinching. Double-knot for security if desired. 2. Initial Wear: Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot shape. This helps prevent discomfort. ### Compatibility These trainers are designed for adult females and are highly versatile for casual outfits. Their minimalist black leather design complements a wide range of styles, from sporty to smart-casual. ### Care 1. Cleaning the Leather Upper: - Gently wipe visible dirt with a soft, damp cloth. - For tougher spots, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush or cloth. - Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, which can damage the leather. - After cleaning, allow the trainers to air dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight. 2. Cleaning the Rubber Outsole: - Use a brush (like an old toothbrush) and mild soap and water to scrub off dirt and debris from the sole. - Wipe clean with a damp cloth. 3. Drying: Never put leather trainers in a washing machine or dryer. Always air dry them, possibly stuffing them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape. 4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture when not in use. Regular care will help preserve the appearance and extend the life of your adidas Taekwondo Trainers.
