FAQs

Are these shoes only for Taekwondo?

No, while deeply rooted in martial arts heritage, the adidas Taekwondo shoes are also designed for comfortable and stylish everyday casual wear due to their light comfort and minimalist aesthetic.

How do I clean my adidas Taekwondo shoes?

For the leather and synthetic upper, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. You can use a small amount of mild soap for tougher spots. Allow them to air dry naturally. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals.

Do these shoes offer arch support?

The adidas Taekwondo shoes feature an ultra-low profile design, which means they offer minimal inherent arch support. If you require significant arch support, you may consider adding a thin, low-profile insole, if space allows.

What is the purpose of the lace cover?

The lace cover serves two main purposes: it creates a clean, streamlined, lace-free aesthetic, and it helps keep your laces securely tucked away during dynamic movements, preventing them from coming untied or snagging.

Are these shoes true to size?

The adidas Taekwondo shoes feature a 'standard fit'. Most users find them true to their regular adidas shoe size. However, individual fit can vary. Refer to the size guide if unsure.

Can I wear these for running or other sports?

These shoes are designed for Taekwondo and casual wear, prioritizing ground feel and flexibility. They are not recommended for running or high-impact sports that require significant cushioning, arch support, or extensive foot protection.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

The leather upper may require a short break-in period to conform to your foot. Wear them for short periods initially. If discomfort persists, ensure you have the correct size. The 'standard fit' should accommodate most foot types.

Lace cover does not stay flat or causes discomfort

Ensure your laces are tied securely but not overly tight, and neatly tucked under the cover. Adjust the tension of the laces and the position of the cover until it feels comfortable and lies flat. Some users may prefer to remove the cover for specific activities, though this changes the aesthetic.

Slipping inside the shoe during activity

Verify that you are wearing the correct size; shoes that are too large can cause internal slipping. Also, ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks that wick moisture and provide a good fit. The slip-on design means a snug fit is important.

Loss of traction on certain surfaces

While the rubber outsole provides excellent traction, its effectiveness can decrease on very wet, oily, or dusty surfaces. Clean the outsole regularly to remove accumulated dirt. Ensure the shoes are appropriate for the surface you are training on.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Streamlined Comfort: Soft leather and textile lining provide a snug, comfortable fit.
  • Excellent Traction: Low-profile rubber outsole offers reliable grip for martial arts and casual use.

Cons

  • Minimal Arch Support: Ultra-low profile might not suit users requiring significant arch support for prolonged standing or specific activities.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Your adidas Taekwondo shoes are ready to wear right out of the box. Simply slip them on. The lace cover is designed to provide a secure, clean look; ensure laces are tied and tucked neatly underneath the cover.

Compatibility

These shoes are primarily designed for:

  • Taekwondo training: Providing the necessary flexibility, traction, and ground feel.
  • Light exercise: Such as studio workouts or stretching.
  • Casual daily wear: Their comfort and style make them suitable for everyday use.

They are compatible with standard athletic socks. Due to their ultra-low profile, they may not be ideal for activities requiring significant arch support or heavy cushioning.

Care

Proper care extends the life of your shoes:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: For the leather and synthetic upper, wipe regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a small amount of mild soap mixed with water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Cleaning the Outsole: Use a brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris from the rubber outsole.
  3. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators), which can damage the leather and adhesives.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  5. Avoid Submersion: Do not machine wash or submerge the shoes in water.
