adidas Unisex Adilette Aqua Slides, Core Black/Cloud White/Core Black, 8 UK

I was quite worried after reading all the reviews here, about the sizing being completely wrong and possibly even being fake etc (although there are even some similar reviews about the sizing etc on the Adidas site about ones purchased directly from there). So I'm going to try to write quite an in-depth review of what I received.I ordered both the Aqua version in size 9 and the Comfort version in size 8 (as even the Adidas site says to go a size bigger for the Aqua one but not the Comfort), from Amazon as the seller. So this review covers both (but I'll include only the relevant photos).I'm pretty sure mine are genuine anyway. They both came in a plastic bag rather than a box, but with an Adidas "shelf hanger" thing in the bag too, so I think they're just packaged for hanging up on a rail in a shop. The labels on the bag, on the tags attached to the shoes and on the shoes themselves do all say the same size number for US and UK, but I have a feeling that's Adidas themselves getting that wrong, and that might also explain some of the sizing issues (i.e. if these are actually US sizes, the shoes would be one size smaller than they should be here). I can't see any serial numbers on the shoes themselves (which apparently Adidas print on all their shoes, but I think that might only be for their proper shoes/trainers rather than these). But the Aqua version does have a little QR code label on the sole of each shoe, with some sort of serial number which is different between the two sides (a good sign apparently). The Comfort version didn't have these stickers, but that's the only difference, all the other packaging and printing of labels etc is exactly the same style. Well, except that the Comfort version also has an extra little disclaimer tag saying "Not for shower use" (I guess due to the spongy footbed which would absorb water).On to the actual shoes themselves, they do seem to be about the same size as eachother (so one size bigger for the Aqua one was correct), and also seem a little bit smaller (in length) compared to my usual size 8 Clarks shoes. But, to my surprise, both pairs actually seem to fit my feet perfectly (without socks)! I was particularly worried as I have wide feet (so my usual shoes are size 8 H - extra wide - and in the past I've had to wear size 9 or 10 trainers when they were standard width), but somehow it's not an issue with these.I'm not actually sure yet which version I prefer (and I don't have any prior experience with this style of shoes to compare with) - the Comfort version is of course softer underfoot, but the Aqua version is actually softer than it looks like it would be, so I feel like there's not actually that much difference once wearing them. I also see why people have complained about the edges of the strap being sharp on the Comfort version (the padding ends shortly before the edge, which isn't ideal), but it doesn't seem to be an issue for me personally. My feet don't really seem to press into the upper edge enough to feel it at all (even while walking), and I can only feel the lower edge if I lift my toes into it on purpose. The footbed of both is sort of contoured around the toe area, and I feel like my feet/toes possibly fit the Aqua version better around there. The sole of the Comfort version is more flexible though, which means it stays close to my heel when bending at the toes while walking, whereas the Aqua ones don't bend as much so they pull away from the heel more - but I don't think enough for it to be an issue really.

Like the comfort although very narrow. Good value,look great. Very good quality.

I cannot emphasise enough that you always need to size up when buying the adidas adilette type sliders.Unlike the old adidas Duramo sliders that were true to size, these are incredibly small made.I am normally size 8 but had to get a size 11 to fit.Other than that they look great especially the Dark blue with white stripes

Size up as these are very small across the foot. I ordered a bigger size, I still couldn’t get my feet in them. I had to order a size 6 and although they fit perfect across the foot, they’re now slightly big in length for me but more comfortable

These are crazy small. Bought my usual size 8 before I saw the reviews to size up. Ended up getting an 8, 9 and 10 and all too small. So gave up and will buy another brand.

I ordered a pair of Adidas Unisex's Adilette Aqua Slide Sandals for my wife on June 24, and I have to say, they’ve really held up beautifully! It's been a few months now, and they’re still going strong, which is impressive.One of the things that stands out is the price – it’s super reasonable for the quality you get. These slides are not just easy on the wallet; they’re also incredibly comfortable. Perfect for lounging around the house, slipping on after a swim, or even for a quick trip to the store. My wife loves how lightweight they feel, and I’ve noticed she reaches for them more often than her other sandals.Overall, if you’re looking for a reliable pair of slides that combine comfort, durability, and style without breaking the bank, I’d definitely recommend the Adidas Adilette Aqua. They’ve been a great purchase for us!

Nice and comfy
