Product Information
Full details
The adidas Originals Adilette Aqua Slides are designed for adults seeking quick-drying comfort and support after water activities or for everyday wear. Their primary benefit is their lightweight, water-friendly construction and soft cushioning, perfect for tired feet. A potential caveat is their simple, slip-on design which may not offer the same level of support as athletic footwear for extended periods of walking. Key features include a one-piece molded EVA upper, a soft Cloudfoam footbed, and a quick-drying EVA outsole.

FAQs
Are these slides suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, their lightweight design and soft cushioning make them comfortable for casual everyday wear, especially for relaxed activities.
Can I wear these for a long walk?
While comfortable, they offer minimal support and structure. They are best suited for short durations or post-activity recovery rather than long walks or strenuous activities.
How do I clean the Adilette Aqua Slides?
Wipe them clean with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use mild soap and water, then rinse and air dry.
Are they good for athletic performance?
No, these are designed for comfort and recovery after athletic activities, not for use during sports. They lack the support and grip needed for performance.
What does 'Adilette Aqua' signify?
'Adilette' refers to the classic adidas slide silhouette, while 'Aqua' highlights their water-friendly and quick-drying properties, making them ideal for wet environments.
Can these be worn in the shower?
Yes, their water-resistant and quick-drying EVA construction makes them perfectly suitable for wearing in the shower.
What is the primary material used?
The slides are primarily constructed from EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate), including the one-piece upper and the outsole, with a Cloudfoam footbed for cushioning.
Troubleshooting
Slides feel too tight or too loose.
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Due to the slip-on nature, adjust foot placement for optimal comfort. These slides are designed for a relaxed fit.
Material feels stiff.
Wear them for short periods initially. The Cloudfoam footbed will soften with body heat and wear, conforming to your foot shape.
Slippery surface when wet.
Exercise caution on very wet surfaces. While designed for water, the EVA sole can still become slippery. Ensure the slides and the walking surface are as dry as possible before walking.
Slides retain water after use.
Store them in a well-ventilated area to allow them to dry completely. Ensure the drainage holes, if present, are not obstructed.
