I just got this shoes ($45 shipped)to replace my cheap TKD shoes that got worn out in 2 months of practice. I haven't tried more expensive Adidas TKD shoes, but this one does it for me. It's very light and comfortable. One strange thing was that I could not find any information about this shoes nor other Adidas TKD shoes on Adidas web site. It turned out that this particular shoes is made by some Korean company. I don't know how long it will last, but no complains so far.
