Daedo Taekwondo Shoes “KIX” - Microfiber Outer Layer, Rubber Outsole, Lightweight and Elastic Design for Comfortable Taekwondo Training

Perfect shoes for taekwondo.

Great shoe for tkd!

I've trained in several different martial arts shoes over the years, and these Daedo KIX shoes are among the more comfortable pairs I've worn. The first thing I noticed was how lightweight they feel. They don't add unnecessary bulk, which makes footwork, kicking drills, and quick directional changes feel natural. The fit is snug without feeling restrictive. The microfiber upper has enough flexibility to move with your foot, and the elastic design helps keep the shoes comfortable during longer training sessions. I didn't experience any rubbing or pressure points, even after wearing them for extended practice. Traction is another strong point. The rubber outsole provides good grip on typical training surfaces while still allowing smooth pivots and transitions. That balance is important for Taekwondo, where you need stability without feeling stuck to the floor. Build quality also appears solid. The stitching and materials feel well put together, and the shoes have held their shape well after repeated use. They look clean and professional and are suitable for both regular training and competition settings. The only thing to keep in mind is that these are specialized martial arts shoes, so they aren't designed to provide the cushioning of a running shoe. Their focus is mobility, flexibility, and floor feel, which is exactly what most Taekwondo practitioners want. Overall, these are excellent Taekwondo shoes that combine comfort, grip, lightweight performance, and quality construction. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced practitioner, they're a strong choice for training and competition.

Great TKD shoe, however this was needed for an upcoming event. I ordered a size 8 for my son and what I got is a size 10...seriously people. Do better. Now he will have to use a different TKD shoes for this upcoming event.

Returned, too small/tight

I am not a Taekwondo practitioner or a participant in any type of martial arts, I was attracted to these shoes as a general workout shoe. I was not disappointed in receiving and trying these shoes. First, these shoes are very comfortable. I wear a size 8.5 and have about a D width foot, however, I have very high arches. It is not uncommon for me to have a shoe fit in every way other than across my arch. These shoes fit very well and are very comfortable. The laces that come up and tie on the inside of the foot probably contribute to the comfort of the shoes and the good fit across the arch. I like the fact that these shoes have zero drop. I wear these shoes for workouts doing a lot of calisthenics and kettlebell work. These shoes are fantastic for my workouts. The soles of the shoes have a good amount of grip and cushioning, however, they are not overly soft. The cost of these shoes was 68.99 (US) at the time of my purchase. Given the overall quality of the shoes, I think that is a fair price for these shoes.

Talk about a sizing mystery! Faced with no half-sizes, I took a leap of faith, sizing down to a 7 instead of my usual 7.5. Boy, am I glad I did – an 8 would have been a high-dive into foot-swimming! These fit absolutely perfectly. Now, for a chuckle: I initially thought I'd put them on wrong because of how they lace up on the inside. It’s certainly a unique twist, quite literally, and threw me for a loop! Despite the initial head-scratching, they are incredibly comfortable, wonderfully lightweight, and offer that delightful 'barefoot' sensation thanks to their thin soles. They're surprisingly flexible and easy to move in. After a thorough inspection, I'm pleased to report solid construction – no visible flaws or loose soles. This 'gamble' paid off, and I’m confident they’ll get plenty of good use once I master the inside lacing technique. A quirky, comfortable win!

These Daedo KIX taekwondo shoes are well-suited for martial arts training and light sparring. The microfiber outer layer is durable yet flexible and the rubber outsole provides reliable grip on training mats and floors. The lightweight elastic construction allows for the quick footwork and kicks that taekwondo demands. The fit is snug and supportive without restricting ankle mobility needed for proper technique. The shoes are comfortable for extended training sessions and the construction has held up well to regular practice use. The rubber sole grips reliably during pivots and stance changes. I recommend this product because the flexible lightweight construction and reliable rubber outsole grip make these taekwondo shoes a practical and performance-appropriate choice for martial arts students at any training level.
