FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running or gym workouts?

The adidas Tekwen Slip-On Trainers are primarily designed for casual wear, light walking, and everyday comfort. While they offer cushioning, their laceless, slip-on design may not provide the necessary support and foot security for high-impact running or intense gym workouts.

How do I choose the correct size?

It's recommended to try on the trainers before purchase to ensure the best fit, as shoe sizing can vary. Stand up and walk around to check for comfortable toe room (a thumb's width) and secure heel fit. Refer to adidas's official size guide if available, but always prioritize trying them on.

Can I wear these trainers without socks?

While the breathable mesh tongue helps, wearing socks is generally recommended to help manage moisture, reduce friction, and prevent odor buildup, which can improve overall comfort and hygiene.

How should I clean the white and silver parts of the trainers?

For the synthetic upper, use a soft, damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap (like diluted dish soap) to gently wipe away dirt. For stubborn marks, a sneaker cleaning solution formulated for synthetic materials can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing.

Will the trainers stretch over time?

The synthetic upper material of the Tekwen trainers may experience a slight amount of stretching and molding to your foot shape over time with regular wear, contributing to a more personalized fit.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, these trainers are not designed to be waterproof. The synthetic upper and mesh tongue offer breathability but will not protect your feet from significant moisture. Avoid heavy rain or wet conditions.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel too loose or too tight (as a slip-on)

Due to the laceless design, adjustability is limited. If they feel too loose, try thicker socks. If too tight, ensure you have the correct size. Over time, the synthetic upper may stretch slightly for a more personalized fit.

Foot slipping inside the trainer

This can happen if the size is too large or if socks are too thin/slippery. Try socks with better grip or consider a slightly smaller size if it still allows comfortable toe room. Ensure you've tried them on adequately before extended wear.

Unpleasant odor developing in trainers

Ensure trainers are air-dried completely after each use. You can use shoe deodorizers, baking soda sachets, or cedar shoe inserts to absorb moisture and neutralize odors. Washable insoles might also be available for purchase.

Squeaking sound while walking

Squeaking can come from the outsole rubbing against certain floor types, or from the insole rubbing against the inside of the shoe. Try removing the insole and placing a thin layer of baby powder underneath. If the squeak is from the outsole, it may diminish with wear or be characteristic of the rubber compound.

General dirt and scuffs on the white/silver synthetic upper

For light marks, use a soft, damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. For tougher scuffs, a specialized sneaker cleaner designed for synthetic materials can be effective. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effortless Wear: Slip-on design allows for quick and easy wearing.

  • Stylish Versatility: Modern design with tennis inspiration complements various casual and athletic outfits.
  • Enhanced Breathability: Mesh tongue helps keep feet cool.

Cons

  • Limited Adjustability: Laceless design means no ability to tighten or loosen the fit.
  • Not for High-Impact Sports: May not provide sufficient ankle or foot support for intense athletic activities.
  • Synthetic Upper Care: Requires specific cleaning to maintain appearance and longevity compared to some natural materials.
  • Fit Preference: Slip-on style might not suit everyone's preference for foot security.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Getting started with your adidas Tekwen Slip-On Trainers is straightforward:

  1. Unpack: Remove trainers from their packaging.
  2. Try On: Slip your feet into the trainers. Ensure you try them on while standing and walking a few steps to assess the fit. Check for comfortable toe room (about a thumb's width between your longest toe and the shoe's end) and that your heel feels secure without slipping excessively. *Note: As per adidas guidance, always try footwear on before returning, as box/label sizes may differ from UK sizing.*

Compatibility

  • Age Group: Adult
  • Gender: Unisex (designed to be worn by any gender)
  • Activity: Best suited for casual wear, light walking, and everyday comfort. Not recommended for high-performance athletic sports requiring specific support or adjustable lacing.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your trainers:

  • Cleaning the Upper: For the synthetic upper, gently wipe dirt and marks with a damp cloth and mild soap (e.g., dish soap diluted with water). Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes.
  • Cleaning the Outsole: Use a brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris from the rubber outsole.
  • Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or dryers), as this can damage materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
  • Do Not Machine Wash: Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the trainers.
