Product Information
Full details
The adidas purechill slides in Black/White, UK size 16, are designed for adults seeking comfortable and casual footwear for everyday wear. Their key benefit is the easy slip-on design combined with durable construction for versatile use. A potential caveat is the specific sizing, as UK 16 is a very large size, making fit critical. These slides feature a synthetic upper and sockliner for a smooth feel, a regular fit, and a rubber and synthetic outsole for reliable traction.

FAQs
Are these slides suitable for athletic performance?
No, the adidas purechill slides are designed for casual wear, comfort, and relaxation. They do not provide the necessary support or stability for athletic activities.
How do I know if the UK size 16 will fit?
UK size 16 is a very large size. We recommend measuring your foot length and comparing it to the adidas sizing chart. Checking reviews for fit comments can also be helpful.
Can I wear these slides in the shower or pool?
Yes, the synthetic materials are water-resistant, making them suitable for use around pools or in showers. Ensure they are dried properly afterwards to prevent potential odor or slippage.
What is the main benefit of the purechill technology?
While not explicitly detailed as 'purechill technology' in this model's description, the name suggests a focus on keeping feet cool and comfortable, likely through the synthetic materials and design promoting airflow.
Are these slides durable enough for daily outdoor use?
The rubber and synthetic outsole provides good durability for light outdoor use, such as short walks or errands. However, for rugged terrain or extensive daily wear, more robust footwear might be preferable.
How should I clean the white accents on the slides?
Use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution to gently clean the white accents. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the synthetic material.
Troubleshooting
Slides feel too loose.
Due to the slip-on design and regular fit, some looseness is expected. Ensure you are using the correct size. For very narrow feet, consider adding an aftermarket insole for a snugger feel.
Outsole grip seems reduced.
Clean the outsole with water and a brush to remove any dirt or debris that may be hindering traction. Ensure the slides are fully dry before use on slick surfaces.
Discomfort after extended wear.
These slides are intended for casual and temporary wear. For prolonged standing or walking, consider footwear with more structured support and cushioning.
Material has scuffs or marks.
Use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution to gently clean the synthetic upper and outsole. Test any cleaning agent on an inconspicuous area first.
