FAQs
Are these slides suitable for sports?
The Adilette Slides are designed for casual wear and recovery, not for athletic performance. They lack the support and grip required for most sports.
Can I wear these in the shower?
While they can tolerate moisture, it's best to dry them thoroughly after getting wet to prevent potential slipping hazards and maintain material integrity.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The slides should fit snugly but comfortably. Your heel should not hang over the back, and your toes should not extend past the front edge. Check the UK sizing guide for reference.
What is the primary material of these slides?
The Adilette Slides typically feature a synthetic upper and a rubber or EVA outsole.
Are they only available in black?
This specific guide refers to the 'Black' variant. However, the Adilette series is available in a variety of colors.
How should I clean them if they get muddy?
Gently scrub with a soft brush, mild soap, and cool water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely.
Troubleshooting
Slides feel too tight or too loose
Ensure you have the correct UK size. Some users find they can stretch slightly with wear; if initially tight, try wearing them for short periods. If too loose, consider a size down if available.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to moisture or friction. Ensure the slides are completely dry. A small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch inside the strap might help reduce squeaking.
Material discoloration or damage
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading. Do not expose to extreme heat. Clean gently as per care instructions to prevent material degradation.
