adidas Unisex Adult Adilette Shower Slip On Slides by adidas Originals

Relevant backstory: I’ve been living with plantar fasciitis for the last few years. Once it gets really bad, PF takes a loooooong time to get over, especially if you work on your feet. About 6 months in I was cajoled into custom orthotics, which were very expensive and provided only a little bit of relief along with several new kinds of discomfort. (It was definitely better to have them than to not have them, but I don’t think it was several hundred dollars better.) I’ve also worn all kinds of orthotic work shoes, which do help, kinda. Basically, I’ve been through the wringer with foot pain, tried a lot of shoe inserts, the works. Even after quitting retail, I lived in squishy recovery sandals daily for a few years. I am now finally at the point where I mostly don’t have foot pain unless I really overdo it or walk around on hard floors barefoot, so I wanted some easy-to-wear slides for around the house that were not squishy (wearing smooshy recovery sandals daily isn’t great for your back, or your knees, or your balance, it turns out).

It turns out these relatively inexpensive, casual shower slides have the best arch support I have ever experienced in my LIFE. It’s probably partly luck– I’m the person that the mass-produced thing actually fits perfectly for once. But my mom tried them on too (we’re basically the same shoe size) and was immediately impressed by the supportive sole.

The band seemed a little tight at first, but I’ve been getting used to it. I thought I was going to get blisters, but none so far! I’ve been wearing them for a few days now and it’s felt a little better every day. If you are a plantar fasciitis sufferer, they’re worth trying out. I wish I’d had these years ago!

Bought 2 pairs for my sister and my daughter and they love them very nice and comfortable and durable fits great

​I recently purchased the Adidas Adilette Shower Slides for my post-gym workouts and for general use around the house, and I’m really happy with them overall.
​The first thing I noticed is how durable and well-made they feel. The material is perfect for getting wet—they dry super fast and I don’t have to worry about them getting ruined. The contoured footbed is comfortable and provides good support, especially compared to a lot of flimsy flip-flops out there.
​The classic 3-stripe design looks great and the all-black color is very versatile.
​My one piece of advice is regarding the sizing. I normally wear a size 10, but I had to exchange them for a size 11 as the 10s were a bit too snug and felt a little narrow, especially with the top band. The size 11s fit perfectly. So, if you’re in between sizes or have a wider foot, I would definitely recommend sizing up.
​Overall, this is a solid, no-frills slide that is perfect for its intended purpose. I would recommend them, just be aware of the sizing issue.

Originally I’d decided on Oofos from several articles and reading reviews, but didn’t like those at all. Too squishy, and have a weird sole shape that made me feel I’d fall over. I’ve been looking for a pair of slides that have amazing arch support and also are stable and don’t squish around. I have flat feet so this is critical for me. I also wanted a pair I could walk out of the shower into. I destroyed my old Birkenstocks by using them for 6-7 years and getting straight out of the shower into them. Did a ton of research and these Adidas are the ticket! Stable, amazing arch support, perfect size for me. Fits perfectly to your regular shoe size.
