FAQs
Are these slides suitable for walking long distances?
The Adilette 22 Slides are designed for comfort and relaxation, making them ideal for casual wear, short walks, and post-activity recovery. For long-distance walking, dedicated athletic footwear is generally recommended.
What makes these slides 'sustainable'?
These slides are made with biobased EVA foams, containing 25% plant-based content derived from sugarcane. Overall, at least 50% of the materials used are from natural and renewable sources, reflecting adidas's commitment to reducing environmental impact.
Can I wear these slides in the shower or pool area?
Yes, the Adilette 22 Slides are designed for both wet and dry terrain, making them suitable for use around pools, at the beach, or in locker rooms. Ensure they are air-dried completely after exposure to water.
What is the inspiration behind the design?
The unique, textured design of the Adilette 22 Slides is inspired by the topological 3D maps and expeditions of Mars, giving them a distinct and futuristic aesthetic.
How do I choose the correct size?
These slides are available in standard UK adult sizing (e.g., UK 7). We recommend choosing your usual shoe size. If you are between sizes, or prefer a looser fit for slides, you might consider sizing up. Info needed: [Provide a link to a sizing chart if available].
Will the material change color or degrade over time?
The biobased EVA foam is durable, but like most materials, prolonged exposure to harsh conditions (e.g., extreme heat, direct strong sunlight for extended periods, harsh chemicals) can affect its appearance and longevity. Following the care instructions will help maintain their condition.
Troubleshooting
Slides feel too tight or too loose
Verify you have the correct size (e.g., UK 7). While slides are designed for a relaxed fit, an ill-fitting size can impact comfort. Consider trying a half-size up or down if available for optimal comfort, as foot shapes vary.
Slipping on certain indoor surfaces
Ensure the soles are clean and free of debris that might reduce traction. For very smooth or wet indoor surfaces, exercise caution, as no footwear can guarantee absolute slip prevention.
Unpleasant odor develops
Regularly clean your slides, especially after prolonged use or exposure to moisture. Allow them to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area after each wear to prevent odor-causing bacteria.
Material appears dull or discolored
Clean the slides using a mild soap and a soft cloth or brush. Avoid leaving them in direct, intense sunlight for extended periods, as this can sometimes affect the material's appearance over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Your Adilette 22 Slides require no setup. Simply slip them on and enjoy the comfort. Ensure the size chosen (e.g., UK 7) provides a comfortable, secure fit without being too loose or tight, as there is no adjustability.
Compatibility
These slides are designed for adults and are compatible with various casual environments. They are suitable for both male and unisex wearers, depending on the specific variant. While primarily for relaxation and casual wear, their wet/dry terrain design allows compatibility with environments like swimming pools, beaches, and locker rooms.
Care
To ensure the longevity and hygiene of your Adilette 22 Slides:
- Cleaning: Wipe the slides regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap. For deeper cleaning, a soft brush can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow them to air dry completely after cleaning or exposure to water. Avoid direct sunlight or extreme heat, which could potentially affect the biobased EVA material.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use.
