FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for actual Taekwondo practice?
Yes, their minimal, slip-on design and flexible, low-profile sole are deeply rooted in martial arts tradition, making them well-suited for Taekwondo and similar indoor training activities where ground feel and agility are important.
How should I clean the leather upper?
For best results, wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner according to its instructions. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Generally, adidas sizing is consistent. However, due to the slip-on design and soft leather, some users might prefer a snug fit while others might size up by half a size for more room. We recommend referring to the official adidas size chart for precise guidance.
Can I wear these shoes for everyday casual use?
Absolutely. With their unique retro aesthetic, streamlined comfort, and durable construction, they are designed to be an instant, everyday staple that transitions seamlessly from martial arts training to casual outings.
What kind of traction does the super low-profile sole provide?
The super low-profile rubber outsole is engineered for flexible traction, offering excellent ground feel and reliable grip on clean, dry indoor surfaces, which is crucial for agility and precise movements in martial arts.
Is the lace cover removable?
The lace cover is an integrated part of the shoe's design, contributing to its unique aesthetic and streamlined fit. It is not designed to be removed and doing so may damage the shoe's structure.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Allow for a brief break-in period for the soft leather to adapt to your foot's unique shape. If discomfort persists, double-check your size against the adidas size chart. Sometimes, a half-size up can make a significant difference, especially with slip-on designs.
Leather appears dull or scuffed.
Regular cleaning and conditioning are key. Clean the leather with a soft, damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner. Follow up with a quality leather conditioner to restore shine and nourish the material. For minor scuffs, a leather balm or polish designed for black leather can help.
Sole lacks expected grip on certain surfaces.
The super low-profile rubber outsole is designed for flexible traction, optimized for clean, dry indoor surfaces typical of martial arts studios. For optimal performance, ensure the surfaces you're using them on are appropriate. They may not provide sufficient grip on wet, oily, or extremely smooth outdoor environments.
Shoes are difficult to slip on.
While designed as slip-on, new leather can be a bit stiff. Use a shoehorn initially if needed. With continued wear, the leather will soften and conform, making them easier to put on.

Care Instructions
To maintain the quality and appearance of your leather adidas Taekwondo shoes, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the leather upper regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For tougher marks, use a small amount of mild leather cleaner applied to a cloth, then gently wipe the affected area.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a quality leather conditioner to keep the leather soft, prevent cracking, and maintain its luster.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), which can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the leather finish.
