FAQs
Are these shoes intended for actual Taekwondo training?
While inspired by martial arts designs, these are fashion sneakers intended for lifestyle use and do not feature the technical support required for professional training.
How should I clean the leopard-print pony hair?
Keep them dry. If a spot occurs, dab gently with a clean, slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry away from heat sources.
Do these shoes run true to size?
The Taekwondo Mei generally follows standard adidas sizing, though the low-profile design fits snugly.
Can I use the included extra laces to change the fit?
Yes, the varying sets of laces can be used to adjust the tightness and visual style of the shoe to better accommodate the shape of your foot.
Is the material real leather?
The shoes feature leather 3-Stripes detailing and a high-quality pony hair upper construction.
Troubleshooting
Pony hair appearing matted or flattened
Gently brush the affected area with a clean, dry, soft-bristled brush in the direction of the hair growth.
Gum sole shows scuff marks
Use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution to gently wipe the rubber edge; avoid getting the pony hair wet during this process.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Taekwondo Mei shoes remain in top condition, follow these guidelines. Since the upper is made of pony hair, avoid exposing the shoes to excessive moisture or mud. If the shoes become dirty, gently brush the hair in the direction of the grain with a soft-bristled brush. Avoid using harsh chemicals or industrial leather cleaners directly on the pony hair, as these can damage the texture and pattern. Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent fading. Use the additional provided laces to experiment with different tension profiles to find your ideal fit.
