Their key benefit lies in the unique, contoured footbed and the use of bio-based EVA material, offering a comfortable and cushioned experience.

FAQs
What are the adidas Adilette 22 Slides made of?
They are constructed from a bio-based EVA material, which includes 25% plant-based content derived from sugarcane.
How should I clean my Adilette 22 Slides?
Clean them using a damp cloth and, if needed, a mild soap. Avoid using harsh cleaning chemicals. Always air dry them away from direct heat.
Are these slides suitable for athletic performance?
These slides are primarily designed for comfort, casual wear, and recovery. They are not intended for high-impact athletic activities but offer good traction for everyday use.
Do they run true to size?
Fit can be subjective and depend on foot width. They are designed for a snug, contoured fit. If you are between sizes, consider sizing up for a bit more room.
What is the inspiration behind the design?
The design is inspired by topographical maps of Mars, giving them a unique, futuristic, and rugged aesthetic.
Can I wear these slides in water?
Yes, the EVA material is water-resistant, making them suitable for use around pools or beaches. However, ensure they are dried properly afterward.
What is the main benefit of the bio-based material?
The main benefit is contributing to a more sustainable future by using plant-based content derived from sugarcane instead of solely traditional petroleum-based materials.
Troubleshooting
Slides feel too tight or snug
The EVA material can slightly adapt over time. Wear them for short periods initially. If still uncomfortable, consider if a larger size would be more appropriate for your foot shape.
Slight odor from material
This can occasionally occur with new EVA products. Allow the slides to air out in a well-ventilated area for a day or two. The odor should dissipate.
Traction seems reduced on very smooth surfaces
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. While designed for traction, extremely polished or wet surfaces can reduce grip on any footwear.
Material feels stiff
The bio-based EVA material is designed to be firm for support. Wear them around the house for a few hours to help them break in and conform to your foot.
