- fit
- Listed true to size, but slim foot-hugging fit may need a half size up for wide forefeet
- sizing
- Women's sizes 5–11, with half steps only from 6 to 9.5
- sizing
- Measure heel-to-longest-toe in centimetres; if between sizes, choose larger
- comfort
- Padded collar and lace closure hold the heel without a rigid heel counter
- comfort
- Minimal break-in; soft satin upper feels broken in from the first wear but loosens after a few wears
- comfort
- Very thin, near-barefoot sole with removable moulded foam footbed
- traction
- Non-skid rubber outsole; softer rubber compounds tend to grip better on wet or oily surfaces
- material
- Satin-like textile/synthetic upper with synthetic leather detailing; textile/synthetic lining and sock; rubber outsole
- material
- Satin upper is soft and molds to the foot, but can be slippery and less breathable than silk
- care
- Gentle spot care; hand-wash satin laces with mild soap and air-dry flat; avoid high heat
- lacing
- Arrives laced with standard flat laces; satin ribbons are an extra set to thread on yourself
- lacing
- Thread ribbon slowly, smooth it flat, and secure with a double knot or firm bow
- styling
- Ballet-flat silhouette with satin upper, three stitched stripes, wrap-around ankle laces and heel-tab branding
- color
- Deep burgundy/oxblood satin that looks lighter and cherry-toned in direct sun
- use cases
- Best for studio, indoor training, short errands, and fashion-forward casual wear
- durability
- Thin outsole wears faster outdoors; satin upper needs care to avoid damage or shrinkage
- value
- At 120 CAD, value lies in the design and two lace sets rather than outdoor durability
- comparison
- Comparable low-profile silhouette to Samba or Gazelle, but satin upper molds more and holds less stiff shape
- construction
- Center seam, topstitched panels, topline trim, and rubber toe/heel bumpers

Switch the laces to match your look
The Taekwondo Mei Ballet flats come with both standard laces and satiny ribbon laces, so you can switch between them to change the shoe's look. Swap in the ribbons for an elegant, ballet-inspired style, or use the regular laces for a more athletic, streamlined feel.[1,2]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Burgundy Taekwondo Mei Ballet Flat Sneakers Women: Choose this if you want a lace-up ballet-flat take on adidas' retro Taekwondo sneaker, with a satin-like burgundy upper, ankle-wrap laces, and a padded collar at the back. Ribbons are included alongside the original laces, so you can swap them to shift between an elegant and a more sporty look, and the shoe adds a removable moulded foam footbed and a non-skid rubber outer sole. Note it comes in burgundy only, in women's sizes 5 through 11.[1,2,3] | Taekwondo Mei Ballet Flat Sneakers Women: Choose this if you want adidas' ballet-leaning take on its Taekwondo lineage — a slim, low-cut silhouette with a black suede and leather upper, thin wraparound ankle laces (satiny ribbon laces also included), and a non-skid gum rubber sole described as designed for tatami use with grip and ground sensitivity from its cushioned insole. Note that the ride is firm and low to the ground, closer to a fashion flat than a cushioned sneaker, and one wearer with wider feet reported sizing down in this model while others are said to manage by going up half a size or wearing thicker socks; soles reportedly show some wear over time while staying grippy.[4,5,6,7,8] | Leopard Pony Hair Leather Taekwondo Mei Ballet-Sneakers Women: Choose this for a slim, low-profile ballet-sneaker look, with a leopard pony-hair leather upper, glossy red trim, and long wrap-around ribbon laces that give it a distinctive style. The Mei silhouette sits low to the ground with a flexible, non-skid gum rubber sole, a removable cushioned insole, and extra heel padding that one wearer found more comfortable than expected. Note that it is meant to fit like a glove with a narrow vamp, and one reviewer found the fit not optimal and best suited to thinner feet despite sizing true to their usual adidas size.[9,10,11,12,13,14,15] |
