Full details

The adidas Originals Adilette slides are designed for adults seeking a blend of heritage style and casual everyday comfort, making them an ideal choice for poolside lounging, post-gym recovery, or relaxed home wear. Since their introduction in 1972, these slides have remained an iconic footwear staple due to their one-piece slip-on construction and durable design, though potential users should note that the contoured footbed requires a brief break-in period to achieve optimal comfort.

FAQs

Are these slides waterproof?

Yes, they are designed with quick-dry materials and are suitable for use in wet environments like pools and showers.

Should I size up or down?

These slides offer a regular fit. If you prefer a looser feel or are between sizes, sizing up is generally recommended.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the best way to maintain the structural integrity of the slides.

Do they provide arch support?

They feature a contoured footbed designed to match the foot's shape, but they do not provide medical-grade orthotic arch support.

Can I wear these for long walks?

While comfortable for casual wear, they are not intended for long-distance walking as they lack the heel and ankle support found in sneakers.

Troubleshooting

The slide feels slippery when wet.

Ensure the footbed is wiped clean of soap residue or lotions, which can accumulate and reduce natural traction.

The strap feels tight over the arch.

Wear the slides with socks for short periods at home to gently stretch the bandage upper material until it conforms to your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These slides arrive ready to wear right out of the box with no complex setup required. Regarding compatibility, the Adilette features a regular fit; if you are between sizes, it is generally recommended to size up for extra room in the footbed. To keep your slides in top condition, avoid leaving them in direct, intense sunlight for prolonged periods, as this can degrade the rubber. For cleaning, simply wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. If they become soaked, air-dry them in a shaded, well-ventilated area rather than using artificial heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, which can cause the materials to warp.
