FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?

No, the adidas Originals Taekwondo Lace shoes are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. Their minimalist design and low-profile cushioning are not ideal for high-impact activities like running or intensive sports that require specialized support and shock absorption.

How do I determine my size?

These shoes generally follow standard adidas sizing. We recommend ordering your usual adidas shoe size. If you are unsure, you can refer to the official adidas sizing chart, or measure your foot length and compare it to the chart. These are a regular fit.

Can I wear these in the rain?

The leather upper provides some protection against light moisture, but these shoes are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided to prevent damage to the leather and to maintain the shoe's longevity. If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally.

What material is the upper made from?

The upper of the adidas Originals Taekwondo Lace shoes is crafted from soft, premium leather, offering both comfort and durability.

Do these shoes offer arch support?

These shoes feature a relatively flat, low-profile design true to their minimalist inspiration. They offer basic comfort but do not provide significant specialized arch support. If you require extra arch support, custom insoles may be considered.

How do I clean the black 3-Stripes?

The contrasting black 3-Stripes can be cleaned gently with a damp cloth or a soft brush and mild soap solution. Be careful not to scrub too vigorously, especially if using a colored cleaning solution, to avoid staining the white leather.

Troubleshooting

Leather upper shows creasing or wrinkles

Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather as it molds to your foot. To minimize, use shoe trees when not wearing them, and regularly condition the leather to keep it supple.

White shoes appear dirty quickly

Regularly wipe down the leather upper with a damp cloth after each wear. For deeper cleans, use a specialized white shoe cleaner or a mixture of baking soda and mild detergent for stubborn marks.

Outsole feels slippery on certain surfaces

While the 'tacky rubber outsole' provides good grip, extreme wet or smooth surfaces can still reduce traction. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris, which can compromise grip. Exercise caution on such surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Lacing: Thread the shoelaces through the eyelets. Ensure they are evenly tightened for a snug, comfortable fit without being too restrictive.
  2. First Wear: Wear them for short periods initially to allow the soft leather upper to conform to your foot's shape, enhancing comfort.

Compatibility:

  • Casual Wear: These shoes are highly versatile and complement a wide range of casual outfits, including denim, chinos, shorts, and casual skirts or dresses.
  • Activities: Ideal for daily commutes, city walks, social gatherings, and light recreational activities. They are not recommended for rigorous sports or activities requiring significant cushioning or ankle support.

Care:

  • Cleaning the Leather Upper:
  1. Gently wipe the leather surface with a damp, soft cloth to remove dust and dirt.
  2. For tougher spots, use a mild leather cleaner applied sparingly to the cloth, not directly to the shoe.
  3. Wipe away any cleaner residue with a clean, damp cloth.
  4. Allow to air dry completely, away from direct heat.
  • Cleaning the Rubber Outsole: Scrub the outsole with a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and a mixture of mild soap and water to remove grime.
  • Maintenance: To preserve the leather, consider using a leather conditioner periodically. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the materials. Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
