FAQs
What is the main benefit of the bio-based EVA material?
The bio-based EVA material is more sustainable, as it incorporates 25% plant-based content derived from sugarcane, reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
Are these slides suitable for wide feet?
The Adilette 22 slides feature a wide bandage strap, but the overall fit is determined by the contoured design. They may not be ideal for individuals with exceptionally wide feet, though many find the fit accommodating once broken in.
How do I clean my Adilette 22 Slides?
Clean them using a damp cloth and a mild soap. Rinse gently if needed and allow them to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
Can I wear these slides in the shower?
Yes, the slides are water-resistant and suitable for use in wet environments like showers or pools due to their material and outsole grip.
What is the inspiration behind the design?
The design is inspired by topographical maps of Mars, featuring a futuristic aesthetic with undulating ridges.
Do these slides offer arch support?
Yes, they feature a contoured footbed specifically designed to provide comfort and support for the arches.
What year were these slides released?
The adidas Adilette 22 Slides Grey Five were released on April 5, 2023.
Troubleshooting
Slides feel too tight or stiff
The bio-based EVA material may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short intervals initially. You can also try warming them gently with a hairdryer on a low setting (from a distance) and then wearing them to help them mold to your feet.
Slipping when wet
While the outsole is designed for traction, extreme wetness on smooth surfaces can reduce grip. Ensure the outsole and the surface are as dry as possible. The ridged design helps, but caution is still advised.
Material appears discolored or degraded
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme heat, as this can degrade the bio-based EVA material. Follow the recommended care instructions for cleaning and storage.
Uneven fit or discomfort
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The contoured footbed is designed for specific support; try wearing them for longer periods to allow your feet to adjust. If discomfort persists, consider if the contoured design is suitable for your foot type.
