FAQs

What are the primary materials used in the Taekwondo Mei Elite?

The upper is a combination of smooth satin and glossy leather, with a textile lining. The sole is made of synthetic rubber.

How does the asymmetric lacing work?

The lacing follows a non-traditional path across the shoe, designed to provide a more customized and secure fit around the foot's unique shape.

Are these shoes suitable for playing Taekwondo?

While inspired by taekwondo footwear, these are primarily fashion and lifestyle shoes. They are not designed for the rigorous demands of competitive martial arts training.

What is the best way to clean the satin parts of the shoe?

Gently brush with a soft brush or use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive water, as this can damage the satin.

What is the MPN for this shoe?

The manufacturer part number (MPN) for this shoe is HQ9182.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

The shoes offer some protection, but they are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the materials.

What sizes are available?

This model is available in various UK adult women's sizes. The specific product listing you are viewing is for UK size 7.5.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose.

Adjust the asymmetric lacing. Ensure the laces are evenly tensioned across all eyelets. Consult online guides for specific taekwondo shoe lacing techniques if needed.

Satin material appears scuffed or dirty.

Gently brush the satin with a soft-bristled brush or use a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn marks, test a mild fabric cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.

Leather shows creases or minor damage.

Use a leather conditioner to moisturize and protect the leather. Minor creases often reduce with wear. For significant damage, consult a professional shoe repair service.

Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces.

Ensure the sole is clean and free from debris. For improved traction on very smooth surfaces, consider a professional sole treatment or replacement if wear is significant.
