After looking online and noting that the Adidas ones look exactly like the ones from the martial arts supply companies, but they had fun colors, I called the local Adidas outlet to ask if they carried any of their Taekwondo shoes at the outlet.
Guy that answered the phone, unprompted, told me that he wanted to make sure I wasn't buying them for Taekwondo. I said "Well I'm getting them for my kid for karate, but can you just tell me if you carry any of them there". Guy kept insisting that I did not want to come get these shoes as they should not be used for any technical execution. We went back and forth 3 times before I finally said "I appreciate your concern, but if I want to buy my kid these shoes, I am just going to buy my kid these shoes! Her instructors can tell me if they won't work out! Can you just tell me if you have size X and these shoes in stock!"
It was strange....never had a sales person try so hard to get me to not come buy something.
Anyway, we've been buying her these shoes for a while now and her black belt test is coming up! Getting some of those new shiny pink ones will be an excellent surprise gift! Thank you for posting!
