Adidas Taekwondo White Black Ankle Ties

The Adidas Taekwondo in white and black is not a sports shoe in the usual sense. It is a very low flat last with straps that wrap the ankle, closer in shape to a ballet flat than a sneaker.

The flat last and ankle ties

There is no tongue and no front lacing here, only a wide opening the foot enters directly before the two straps tie around the ankle. That gives security without pressure on the top of the foot.

The sole is very thin and close to the ground, so walking on it feels entirely direct. That is what anyone looking for flat rather than cushioned footwear wants.

What we noticed on inspection

We noticed the sole folds completely when pressed by hand, evidence of its high flexibility and the reason walking on it feels so direct. The two straps are stitched with an internal anchor rather than glued. The last is slightly narrow at the toe, so wider feet should go half a size up, and the Swagyo WhatsApp concierge settles sizing before ordering.

How to wear it

With slim denim, wide trousers, a dress or a midi skirt. The flat last exposes the ankle and lengthens the line of the leg, especially with slightly cropped trousers. For comparison there is the full Adidas Taekwondo collection, or Adidas Samba for a closed last.

Common questions

Is it a training shoe

No. It is a flat last for everyday wear, and its thin sole does not provide the absorption training requires.

Are the ties necessary for security

Yes, since there is no front lacing to hold the foot. The two ankle straps are what secure the shoe while walking.

Is it suitable for long walking

The sole is very thin so the ground is felt directly. It suits short journeys and occasions rather than long walking.

Does the sizing run true

The last is slightly narrow at the toe, so wider feet should go half a size up. The concierge settles this before ordering.
