FAQs
Are these Adilette slides waterproof?
Yes, they are made from water-resistant materials, making them ideal for use in showers, pools, and beach environments.
Do I need to size up or down?
These slides generally fit true to size. If you prefer a loose fit or have wide feet, some users opt for the next full size up.
Can I wear these for long walks?
While they are comfortable, they are intended for casual wear and short distances. They lack the heel retention required for long-distance walking.
How should I store them when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the synthetic materials from fading or warping over time.
Are they suitable for both men and women?
Yes, the Adilette series is designed as unisex footwear, though sizing is typically based on standard men's scales.
Troubleshooting
The slide feels slippery when wet.
This is common with synthetic slides. Ensure you dry the footbed with a towel before continuing to walk to regain traction.
The strap feels tight or uncomfortable initially.
The synthetic material may need a short break-in period. Wear them for short intervals around the house with socks to help the material soften.
Accumulated dirt or grime in the footbed texture.
Use a soft-bristled brush with mild soapy water to scrub the contoured texture, then rinse thoroughly and air dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These slides arrive ready-to-wear straight out of the box with no assembly required. To ensure longevity, keep them away from prolonged direct exposure to extreme heat, such as inside a hot car, as the synthetic materials may warp. If the slides become dirty, simply wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap. For deeper cleaning, rinse under cool running water and allow them to air dry in the shade. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges that might degrade the texture of the footbed or the finish of the upper straps.
