FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor use?
While the durable rubber sole can handle outdoor walking, these shoes are primarily designed for indoor martial arts and casual wear. Prolonged outdoor use on rough surfaces may lead to faster wear of the sole and leather.
How do I determine the correct size?
It is recommended to refer to the Adidas size chart for foot length measurements. For Taekwondo, many practitioners prefer a snug fit. If unsure, trying them on is best. Info needed: Specific sizing advice if available.
Can I machine wash these sneakers?
No, machine washing is not recommended for leather shoes as it can damage the material and adhesives. Please follow the manual cleaning instructions provided in the 'Product Care' section.
What is the material of the sole?
The sole is made from natural rubber, which provides excellent grip, flexibility, and durability.
Are these shoes unisex?
While attributes may specify gender for certain variants, the design and functionality of Adidas Taekwondo sneakers are generally suitable for all adults. Please check the specific variant's sizing.
How do I maintain the white stripes?
Gently wipe the white stripes with a damp cloth or a soft brush and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh cleaners that might affect the leather or stripe material.
Troubleshooting
Slippage during Taekwondo training.
Ensure the soles are clean and free of dust or debris. Check the training surface for cleanliness. If issues persist, consider the wear of the sole.
Leather appears dry or cracked.
Clean the leather thoroughly and then apply a suitable leather conditioner. Regular conditioning can prevent this issue.
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
The leather may need time to break in and mold to your foot. Wear them for short periods initially. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, re-evaluate sizing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting Started

Product Care
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your leather sneakers, follow these care instructions:
- Regular Cleaning: After each use, especially after training, wipe down the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt.
- Deep Cleaning (Leather): For more stubborn dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft cloth. Follow the product's instructions carefully. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Sole Care: Clean the rubber sole with a brush or damp cloth to remove debris and maintain grip.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), which can damage the leather.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Info needed: Frequency of conditioning.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
