FAQs

How do I know which size to order?

Please refer to the size guide. Note that if you are shopping based on your US size, you may need to purchase half a size bigger than the size guide suggests for an optimal fit.

Are these suitable for swimming?

While the Adilette slides are water-friendly and quick-drying, they are designed for comfort and casual wear around pools or beaches, not for actual swimming.

Can I wear these for sports activities?

The Adilette slides are best suited for recovery and casual wear after sports. They do not provide the support or traction needed for participating in athletic activities.

How do I clean the Adilette slides?

Wipe them clean with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or putting them in a washing machine or dryer.

What is the main material of the Adilette slides?

The upper is made of synthetic material, and the lining is textile.

Are there other color options available?

Yes, the Adilette series is available in various color combinations, including blue and white, as well as different shades of black and white.

Troubleshooting

Slides feel too tight or too loose.

The Adilette has a standard fit. If they feel too tight, ensure you've ordered the correct size or allow for a slight break-in period. If too loose, consider if the sizing guide was followed correctly, especially regarding the note about US sizing.

Footbed feels uncomfortable.

The contoured footbed is designed for support. If it feels unusual, allow a few wears for your foot to adapt to the shape. If discomfort persists, ensure you have the correct size.

Material seems stiff.

The synthetic upper is designed for durability and quick drying. Some initial stiffness is normal. Wear them around the house for short periods to soften the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The adidas Adilette slides require no setup. They are ready to wear straight out of the box.

Compatibility: These slides are designed for adult use and are generally compatible with most foot shapes due to their adaptable strap and contoured footbed. They are suitable for both men and unisex wear.

Care: To maintain your Adilette slides:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the synthetic material.
