I'll lead with the good... I love the look of these sandals. My brother-in-law has had a pair of these for a few years, and every time I would see them, I wanted some for myself. Sadly, these sandals are beyond uncomfortable. The problem is that when the shoe flexes while walking, the hard, plastic strap digs down into the tops of the toes. It's like having someone trying to cut off your toes with a pair of plastic scissors with each step. After my first day of use, the tops of my toes were bright-red, and very irritated. I really hope these things break-in, before they completely sever my toes from my feet.

These are by far my favorite pair of sandals. I have worn them for at least 10 years and have searched high and low for a replacement pair. Thank you Zappos! They were impossible to find for a while and even though I have a pair that are still in good shape, I bought another as a back up. And let me tell you, they last forever! I am a former collegiate athlete (soccer) and would wear them after games, practice, everywhere! I am a woman's 8.5 and ordered a man's 7 and it was a perfect fit. It does take a few wears to break them in and I would also suggest wearing them in water as well to speed up the process. Overall an excellent buy and worth the price!

The ultimate Athletic Slide. I got tired of cheap slides, which always fall apart in less than a year. I finally got the Adidas Adilette online and now knows why they are so wildly popular; they're made better than most sports shoes! Not only soccer players wear them. They are also the official off-court footwear of the entire NBA. Sizing is simple; if you're a 8.5/US shoe, get 9. If your feet are wider, go size 10. Done! Beware of Chinese copies! Zappos only sells the Made in Italy ones, which will easily last a full decade. They fit just like a Birkenstock, but look 10 times better, and can get wet all day long! Great for pool, shower, beach, or at home even shopping or running errands! This is my first Zappos purchase. Free, on-time shipping absolutely rocks!

None. This is the ORIGINAL athletic slide!

My doctor recommended these to wear around the house because of their excellent arch support. They are exactly what I needed.

This is, in my estimation, the best deck (swimming pool) shoe/sandal available. I've been using them for over 15 years and would not buy any other deck shoe/sandal.

These have been the gold standard for decades for a reason. These slides are comfortable, hold up well, and have actual arch support. They are my go-to slides for wearing around the house and going to and from workouts. Great for just getting out of the pool, too. Back in college (in the '80s) all the swimmers and water polo players wore them constantly. I know why. They are the best, and thanks to adidas for not messing with what works.

These are the best slides you can get for the price. They are great for using around the house and love the fit. They are molded for the bottom of your foot and wear a very long time. They are the gold standard of slides.

I followed the reviews and size chart and ordered a Men’s 9 Woman’s 10. I am a legit woman’s size 10 in every shoe that I wear. This size was inaccurate and too large. I reordered Men’s 8 Woman’s 9 and it fit perfectly so size down a whole size. If you wear Woman’s size 10, purchase Men’s size 8.

These slides are the best thing to happen to feet in the history of humans wearing shoes. I wear mine as slippers all year round, and as outdoor shoes anytime I am too lazy to put on regular shoes (as long as it's not snowing), which is basically always. They're on my feet for 70% of my waking life. I can walk for miles in them (not up a mountain, but pretty much anywhere else), they have fantastic arch support, never slip off, are exquisitely comfortable with or without socks, and are supremely durable. My current pair is 7 years old and the rubber is only now beginning to wear away under my toes and heel. Soles are still in great shape. I'm here ordering new ones today -- I've been wearing Adilettes for 25 years and this will be my third pair.

I’m so pleased with my purchase! I am a women’s size 7, but I know for Adidas shoes I am a men’s size 5. That is what I purchased (men’s 5/women’s 6) and they fit perfectly. I had a pair of these adilette original slides in the 90’s and I wanted them again :) I can wait to wear them out with my adidas hoodie and adidas crew socks. This girl is happy!

I own several pairs of these and I love every single one. They're so comfortable. Be patient with them, the first few times you wear them they don't feel as great, but once they form to your feet, they're amazing!

Warning: Material on underside of strap has changed! thin, black spandex like instead of soft, thick cotton like material. I've been buying this sandal since 1998, last pair I purchased was in 09'. These are my favorite sandals, and I don't wear any others. But, I recently decided to purchase a new pair, and go with the navy, switch it up after all these years with the black. Come to find out, it seems the soft, white fabric on the underside of the slide, is now some different, thin, black spandex like material. looks cheap as crap. and def does not make the sandal as comfortable. At first I thought Zappos had sent me a fake! (first order from Zappos) Called Adidas to confirm authenticity, which I was informed they switched up the material. I'm going to wear these and break them in, but am disappointing in Zappos for not having updated info on these shoes, and in Adidas for ruining a good thing. everything else feels the same and fits perfect.

Fits good, doesn't move around on your foot like some slides. I would buy again.

My son spends his days on the pool deck, and until we bought these, his feet would ache by mid-afternoon. These really helped with that!

These are locker room shoes. They are retro and very comfortable. I wear a women's 9½, the women's 9 fits fine.

Awesome shoes! Hubby loves them - he gets a new pair of these about every couple years. He will wear these until they completely fall apart.

The adilette is the best recovery shoe. I wear them all the time and they save my feet from fatigue.

What can I say? These are wonderful. Comfortable and they last forever. My last pair (which I cannot throw out...so I use in the yard) are about 10 years old. Sharp, stylish (in a classic soccer sort of way) and versatile. Our office manager (law office) even wears hers to work. I concur.

Been wearing these sandals for over 15 years and this is only my third pair. They come a little more rigid now and take a little breaking in, but they are always a sturdy, comfortable sandal.

Got my first pair of Adidas adilette sandals in the late '60s. Designed in Italy as the original locker room sandal and has always been the easy choice for great comfort, looks and price.

Zappos is the best online company I have ever done business with. I ordered two shoes and sent one back, receiving a very quick refund. I have had this style before, but was unable to find them in my area. I received a great small sandal with a great sole support. I cannot say enough. This is a wonderful shoe even if it is not a fashion statement.

Sweet sandals...I've bought this same pair 3 times over the last several years, and I'll probably keep coming back. They're very comfortable, look great, and fit nicely.
