FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for intense athletic training or running?

No, these sneakers are primarily designed for lightweight comfort, casual wear, and light martial arts practice. Their ultra-low profile and minimalist cushioning are not intended for high-impact athletic training or long-distance running.

How do I maintain the 'lace-free' look?

The 'lace-free' look is achieved by a tongue cover over a traditional lace closure. To maintain this, ensure the laces are adjusted to your desired fit and then smooth the tongue cover down. Occasional checks to ensure the tongue is centered will help keep the appearance neat.

Can I machine wash these sneakers?

No, machine washing is not recommended. The leather and synthetic materials, along with the construction, can be damaged by machine washing. Always follow the manual cleaning instructions provided in the 'Care Instructions' section.

What size should I choose if I'm between sizes?

As these shoes have a minimalist, low-profile design, fit is crucial. If you are between sizes, it's generally recommended to consult adidas's official sizing guide or try on the shoe to ensure comfort, especially considering the UK 6.5 size of this specific variant.

Is the JQ4775 product code relevant for all variants?

Yes, JQ4775 is the MPN (Manufacturer Part Number) for the adidas Taekwondo series, indicating it's the core identifier for this specific model across different sizes and colorways.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from a combination of leather and synthetic materials, offering a balance of durability, flexibility, and a premium feel.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose despite lace adjustment.

The internal lace closure allows for fine-tuning. Ensure the laces are evenly tightened or loosened across all eyelets. If the issue persists, consider trying a different size or width if available, as the low-profile design may not suit all foot volumes.

Tongue cover keeps slipping or bunching.

Ensure the internal laces are properly adjusted and that the tongue is centered before securing the cover. The fit of the shoe itself can impact this; a shoe that is too loose may cause more movement. Re-adjust the laces for a snugger fit.

Squeaking sound when walking.

Squeaking can sometimes occur between the insole and the sole. Try removing the insole and sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder underneath it. Alternatively, the outsole might be squeaking on certain floor types; ensure the sole is clean and dry.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your adidas Taekwondo sneakers, which feature a leather and synthetic upper.

  • Cleaning the Upper: For leather and synthetic parts, gently wipe with a damp, soft cloth using a mild soap solution if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
  • Cleaning the Outsole: Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and mild soap to clean the rubber outsole, removing dirt and debris.
  • Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Do not put them in a dryer or expose them to direct sunlight or heaters, which can damage materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees or crumpled paper inside to help maintain their shape.
  • Protecting Leather: Consider using a leather protector spray or cream to help repel water and stains, following the product's instructions.
