They’re the right size, like it’s no different than most adidas models, but the fit isn’t optimal. Given the nature of the shoes, the sole would be more comfortable if worn really tight and since my natural size in length is 6.5uk I think that would’ve been better for the sole. Someone else here said they recommended going half a size up and some people might be fine with that, but they’re shoes that are supposed to fit like a glove, there’s two sections to it and personally I think not getting the optimal size would make them uncomfortable. The other problem is the upper fit is a bit weird and is more adapted to thinner feet so a size 7.5uk would’ve probably looked better, but the sole would’ve been way too long in my opinion. The upper isn’t too tight, it just doesn’t look particularly good on feet due to how they’re made. It’s the first adidas shoes that gives me this kind of issues and I’ve got over 100 pairs. I couldn’t recommend it to people that don’t have thin feet. It’s a women model and I think it’s one of the rare case where it’s really more adapted to women feet, usually I can pick women shoes without issues. \n\nThis is all my personal opinion though, someone else might don’t care for the same issues.","subreddit":"adidas"},{"url":"https://www.reddit.com/r/adidas/comments/1t75q9m/whats_your_opinion_about_taekwondo_mei_cream/oro82hr/","type":"comment","title":"Outsole wear after regular use","author":"-lilacpurple","ref_id":"r_e_4","thread":{"url":"https://www.reddit.com/r/adidas/comments/1t75q9m/whats_your_opinion_about_taekwondo_mei_cream/","title":"whats your opinion about taekwondo mei cream","subreddit":"adidas"},"excerpt":"I have worn these nonstop since I bought them, I walk a mile to work and a mile back most days, and these are the bottoms!
