FAQs
What makes these slides 'bio-based'?
The slides are constructed with approximately 25% of their material derived from sugarcane, a renewable resource, contributing to a more sustainable manufacturing process.
Are these suitable for athletic performance?
The Adilette 22 Slides are designed primarily for comfort, recovery, and casual wear. They do not offer the support or features required for high-intensity athletic activities.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the size chart for adidas footwear. These slides generally follow standard UK sizing. The fit should be snug but comfortable, with your heel not hanging over the back edge.
Can I wear these in the shower or pool?
Yes, the EVA material is water-resistant and the molded footbed offers support in both wet and dry conditions, making them suitable for use around pools, beaches, and showers.
What is the lifespan of these slides?
With proper care, the durable EVA construction and supportive footbed are designed for long-term use. Lifespan depends on frequency of wear and care adherence.
How much of the product is made from natural/renewable materials?
At least 50% of the slide is made from natural and renewable materials, with the EVA itself containing a significant portion derived from sugarcane.
Troubleshooting
Slides feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. If they are slightly snug, wearing them for short periods can help the material mold to your foot. Some users find wearing them with thin socks initially can aid in breaking them in.
Slipping occurs on very smooth surfaces
While designed for multi-surface grip, extremely polished or wet surfaces can still pose a slipping risk. Ensure the sole is clean and dry before walking on such surfaces.
Material seems stiff after cleaning
Ensure you are not using harsh cleaning agents. If the material feels stiff, allow it to air out naturally. Avoid direct heat for drying, as this can harden the EVA.
