FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard adult UK sizing, but the snug nature of the criss-cross system may feel tighter than traditional sneakers.
Can I use these for Taekwondo practice?
No, these are fashion trainers inspired by the style of martial arts shoes and do not provide the necessary protection or traction for active training.
How do I care for the leather?
Clean with a damp cloth or leather-specific conditioner, avoiding harsh detergents or soaking the material.
Do these shoes provide good arch support?
The Taekwondo Mei features a flat, low-profile sole typical of minimalist shoes; they do not have significant built-in arch support.
Are the laces replaceable?
The criss-cross strap system is integrated into the design; it is not recommended to remove or replace them with standard laces.
Troubleshooting
Leather feels stiff upon first wear
Gently massage the leather upper or wear the shoes for short periods with thick socks to assist with the break-in process.
Difficulty tightening the lace strap
Ensure the straps are not crossed over too tightly at the base, and adjust tension gradually from the bottom up to maintain even pressure.
Debris caught in basketweave pattern
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently sweep away dirt from the crevices of the textured upper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your adidas Taekwondo Mei Trainers remain in top condition, proper maintenance is essential.
- Break-in Phase: Wear them for short durations indoors initially to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust from the basketweave patterns. For deeper cleaning, use a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or fading.
- Compatibility: These trainers pair best with casual trousers, slim-fit jeans, or skirts, given their sleek profile.
