FAQs
Do these slides offer arch support?
The Adilette Slides feature a contoured footbed that provides a degree of support, but they are not designed as specialized orthopedic footwear. Arch support is moderate.
Can I wear these for long walks?
While comfortable for casual wear and shorter distances, they may not provide sufficient cushioning or support for extensive walking or hiking. They are best suited for casual use, post-activity recovery, or around the house.
How should I choose the correct size?
It is recommended to consider sizing up, as the Adilette Slides are generally reported to run small. Refer to the brand's sizing chart and consider trying them on if possible.
Are these waterproof?
The slides are made from quick-drying synthetic materials and are water-resistant, making them suitable for use around water. However, they are not fully waterproof and prolonged submersion is not recommended.
What is the primary intended use for these slides?
Originally designed for use in shower areas, they are now widely used for casual wear, post-exercise recovery, poolside, and beach activities due to their comfort, durability, and quick-drying properties.
How do I clean the synthetic material?
Gently wipe the synthetic material with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or soaking the slides, as this can damage the material.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The slides feature a wide instep, which generally accommodates a range of foot widths. However, the contoured footbed might feel snug on very wide feet.
Troubleshooting
Slides feel too tight or small
The Adilette Slides are known to run small. Consider purchasing a larger size than you normally wear. Always try them on before returning if possible.
Material feels stiff
New slides may have a slight stiffness. Wear them for short periods to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot. Consistent wear will improve flexibility.
Slipping despite the outsole
Ensure the outsole and the surface you are walking on are free from excessive moisture or debris, which can reduce traction. The traction is designed for moderate grip, not extreme conditions.
Discoloration after cleaning
Only use a damp cloth for cleaning. Avoid using colored or harsh cleaning agents that could transfer dye or damage the material's surface.

Care:
