FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for actual Taekwondo training?
While named 'Taekwondo Sneakers,' these are described as minimalist and versatile trainers. They offer a flat profile and comfort suitable for casual wear and light activities. For rigorous martial arts training, specialized Taekwondo shoes with enhanced grip and specific support are typically recommended.
What is the primary material of the shoe's upper?
The upper of these sneakers is made from durable black leather, offering a premium look and feel.
Do these sneakers offer arch support?
These Adidas Taekwondo Sneakers feature a flat profile, which means they provide minimal built-in arch support. If you require significant arch support, you might consider using aftermarket insoles.
Can I wear these for running or intense workouts?
These sneakers are designed as minimalist and versatile trainers for casual wear and light activities. Their construction and flat profile are not optimized for the cushioning and support required for running or high-intensity workouts.
How do I determine the correct size?
These shoes come in UK adult sizing (this variant is UK 9). We recommend referring to Adidas's official sizing chart for the most accurate fit. If you're between sizes, consider your usual preference for fit in similar shoe styles.
What kind of sole do they have?
The sneakers feature a 100% rubber outsole, designed for durability and reliable traction.
Are these sneakers unisex?
While the attributes list them for 'Female,' the minimalist design of these sneakers often makes them suitable for anyone who appreciates the style and fit, regardless of gender.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dull or dry
Apply a good quality leather conditioner or moisturizer following the product's instructions. This will restore the leather's natural oils and sheen. Ensure the shoes are clean before conditioning.
Squeaking sound from the sole
Sometimes, new rubber soles can squeak. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole to absorb moisture. If the squeak is from the outsole, it may diminish with wear, or a professional shoe repairer might be able to help.
Uncomfortable fit or rubbing after initial wear
Ensure you have the correct size. If the size is correct, new leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations initially with appropriate socks. You can also try targeted stretching using shoe stretchers or by wearing thick socks while gently warming the tight areas with a hairdryer (keep it moving and at a distance to avoid damage).

Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your leather Adidas Taekwondo Sneakers, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning the Leather Upper: Gently wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner according to its instructions. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive materials, which can damage the leather.
- Drying: Allow your sneakers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can cause the leather to crack or stiffen.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather soft and prevent drying or cracking. This also helps maintain its natural sheen.
- Sole Care: Clean the rubber sole with a brush or damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt. For scuffs, a mild soap solution can be used.
- Storage: When not in use, store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Submerging: Do not machine wash or submerge your leather sneakers in water, as this can damage the leather and adhesives.
