FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, these are fashion-forward lifestyle shoes and are not designed for running or high-impact athletic activities.

Does the shoe provide good arch support?

The Taekwondo Mei features a flat, minimalist construction and does not offer significant arch support.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Use a soft, damp cloth for regular cleaning. Avoid using a washing machine as this can damage the leather and structural integrity.

Can I swap the insoles for my own orthotics?

While the insole may be removable, the low-profile design may limit the amount of space available for thicker custom orthotics.

Are these true to size?

They generally fit true to standard adult sizing, but as a slim-fit shoe, those with wider feet may prefer to try them on for size if possible.

Troubleshooting

Leather appearing scuffed or dull

Use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft microfiber cloth to buff out light scuffs and restore the natural finish.

Laces becoming loose during wear

Try a different lacing pattern or use a double knot if the provided laces slide against the smooth leather surface.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated, minimalist leather design
  • Highly versatile styling options
  • Durable and reliable rubber outsole
  • Lightweight and low-profile for easy wear
  • Authentic retro aesthetic

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best fit, experiment with the multiple lacing options immediately upon unboxing to find the tension that suits your foot shape best. Compatibility is high with casual and smart-casual wardrobes, particularly jeans, cropped pants, and midi-skirts. For care, it is essential to wipe the leather upper with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh industrial chemicals. Use a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking, and always store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
