FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Most users find the Taekwondo Mei fits true to size, but the low profile may feel slightly different than standard athletic sneakers.

Can I use these for Taekwondo training?

While inspired by martial arts, these are lifestyle shoes meant for fashion and casual wear, not actual training or sparring.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Use a soft brush for dust and a lightly dampened cloth for spot cleaning. Avoid soaking the leather.

Is the material waterproof?

No, the leather upper is not waterproof. It is recommended to use a protective leather spray if you plan to wear them in light rain.

Are these suitable for people with flat feet?

These shoes are very flat by design. If you have specific needs for arch support, you may want to insert a custom orthotic insole.

What lacing options are available?

The lace closure is designed to be versatile; you can lace them traditionally or adjust the tension to fit your preference for a snug or loose fit.

Troubleshooting

Leather looks dull or loses its shine

Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or cream suitable for brown leather to restore moisture and luster.

Laces constantly coming undone

Try a double knot or look for alternative lacing styles that create more friction through the eyelets to lock the tension.

Feeling too much ground impact while walking

Consider adding a thin, supportive insole if your foot shape requires more arch support.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and comfortable for casual daily use
  • High-quality leather material ensures durability
  • Unique and stylish design sets it apart from standard sneakers
  • Excellent traction provided by the rubber outsole

Cons

  • Minimal arch support due to the flat design
  • Not suitable for athletic or high-impact sports
  • Low profile may not appeal to those seeking chunky footwear trends

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best fit, experiment with different lacing techniques permitted by the secure closure system to suit your foot width. When it comes to care, treat these shoes like other fine leather items: use a soft, dry brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth for spot cleaning. Avoid submerging the leather in water or using harsh chemicals, which can damage the material's finish. If the shoes get wet, air-dry them away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the leather from cracking or deforming.
