FAQs
What is the primary inspiration for the Adilette 22 design?
The design is inspired by topographical maps of Mars, giving them a futuristic and earth-inspired aesthetic.
What materials are used in the Adilette 22 Slides?
They are constructed from a bio-based EVA material, with 25% of the content derived from sugarcane.
How should I clean my Adilette 22 Slides?
Wipe them clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Allow them to air dry.
Are these slides suitable for athletic performance?
While comfortable and offering good traction for casual use, they are primarily designed for recovery, leisure, and light activity, not high-impact sports.
Do the Adilette 22 Slides come in other colors?
Yes, the Adilette 22 model is available in various colorways, though this guide specifically covers the 'Grey Five' variant.
Is the fit true to size?
Generally, the fit is considered true to size for most users. However, foot shape can influence perceived fit. Refer to sizing charts and consider your personal fit preferences.
Can I wear these slides in water?
Yes, the EVA material is water-resistant, making them suitable for wear around pools or beaches. Ensure they are dried properly afterwards.
Troubleshooting
Slides feel too tight or too loose.
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If the fit is still not ideal, consider trying a different size or a half-size if available, as fits can vary slightly. The bio-based material may also offer some slight give after initial wear.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
While designed for traction, some smooth or wet surfaces may still pose a slip risk. Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris. For maximum grip, avoid wearing them on excessively slick surfaces.
Material has an unusual smell.
As the slides are made with a significant portion of plant-based material, a slight inherent odor may be present. This typically dissipates after a few wears or after airing them out in a well-ventilated area.
Discomfort after initial wear.
The contoured footbed and unique shape may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time as they conform to your foot.
