Product Information

Full details

The adidas Originals Taekwondo Mei is a sleek, ballet-inspired low shoe designed for women who appreciate early 2000s aesthetics and minimalist footwear. These shoes provide a refined, low-profile look suitable for casual outings, though their thin, martial arts-influenced sole may not offer the high-impact cushioning required for long-distance walking or intense athletic activity. Featuring premium leather construction and customizable lacing options, this shoe serves as a versatile fashion staple for daily urban wear.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these shoes good for running?

No. The Taekwondo Mei is designed for lifestyle and casual use and lacks the support and cushioning necessary for running.

How do I choose the right size?

These shoes follow standard sizing for adidas Originals. We recommend selecting your usual size, keeping in mind the 'regular' fit.

Can I replace the insoles?

The interior is lined with leather for a minimalist feel. It is not recommended to swap the insoles as it may affect the low-profile fit of the shoe.

How do I clean the leather?

Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh soaps or immersion in water to preserve the leather quality.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Taekwondo Mei has a narrow, low-profile construction. Individuals with significantly wide feet may find the regular fit too tight.

Troubleshooting

Laces coming undone

Use one of the shorter lace lengths provided to reduce excess material, or double-knot the laces.

Leather showing scuffs

Use a leather conditioner or a neutral leather polish to buff out minor surface scuffs and restore the finish.

Low profile may not provide significant arch support

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your Taekwondo Mei shoes in top condition, follow these guidelines:

Lacing Setup: Experiment with the three lace lengths provided in the box. Ensure the knot is secure but not overly tight to maintain circulation.
Leather Care: As these are constructed from real leather, use a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner applied to a rag—never soak the shoes.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from drying out or cracking.
Compatibility: These shoes feature a regular fit. If you plan to wear thick socks, you may find the internal volume restricted; thin no-show or ballet liners are recommended for the best fit.
