FAQs
What are the adidas Adilette 22 slides made from?
They are primarily made from a bio-based EVA material, which contains at least 25% plant-based content derived from sugarcane. This highlights adidas's commitment to using natural and renewable materials.
Are these slides suitable for water activities?
Yes, the Adilette 22 slides are designed for use around water, making them ideal for the pool, beach, or sauna. Their material and open design allow for quick drying.
How should I clean my Adilette 22 slides?
For cleaning, simply wipe them down with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Rinse thoroughly with water and allow them to air dry completely. Do not use harsh chemicals or machine wash.
How do the Adilette 22 slides fit?
The product description suggests that if you are shopping based on your US size, you should consider purchasing half a size bigger than your usual US size for an optimal fit.
Can I wear these slides for long periods?
Yes, their lightweight and comfortable design, featuring a moulded footbed, makes them suitable for extended wear for relaxation and casual activities.
What is the significance of the 3D design?
The topographical 3D design is inspired by Mars expeditions and exploration, giving the slides a unique, futuristic aesthetic while also contributing to their structural integrity and cushioning.
Are these slides environmentally friendly?
They are a step towards sustainability, as they are made with natural and renewable materials, specifically bio-based EVA with 25% plant-based content derived from sugarcane. This aligns with adidas's journey to reduce finite resources and plastic waste.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels off or too snug.
The product description advises that if you are shopping based on your US size, you should purchase half a size bigger than the size guide recommendation. Ensure you've followed this guidance for an optimal fit. If possible, try them on before purchase.
Slides feel slippery on certain surfaces.
Ensure the footbed and outsole are clean of any residue, dirt, or oil. While the topographical design offers good grip, accumulated debris can reduce traction. Rinse with water and air dry thoroughly. Avoid walking on extremely oily or soapy surfaces.
Slides develop an odor after use.
Regularly clean your slides, especially after prolonged use in wet or humid conditions. Rinse them with water and a mild soap solution, then ensure they are thoroughly air-dried before storage. Proper ventilation during drying can prevent odor-causing bacteria.
Material appears discolored or stained.
For light stains, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher stains, a soft brush might be used carefully. Avoid harsh cleaning agents or scrubbing vigorously, which can damage the material's surface. Always air dry.
