adidas Duramo Slide Sandal

When I was little, my father and I would stroll through the fields in all the lands surrounding our manor, wishing a good harvest and fine tidings to the peasants who worked the soil. He never meant those words, of course. My father could be a cruel, capricious landlord. One winter, when the driving rains turned the soil to mush, and the mung-beans and wheat-stalks lay rotten in the waterlogged earth, the peasants cried out in starvation and cursed the gods for their ruin. My father would sing, and he would laugh, and he would prance about the fields in chicken-feathers and a beak, gleefully tearing up the wheat-stalks and tramping them into the dirt. "Cacaw!! Cacawww!!" he would shout, as in his animalistic frenzy, he would torment the villagers and consign their small children to certain demise. Afterwards we would dine on fine linens and gold-leafed plates. We would feast on fatted lamb and stuffed goat, and we would slurp a hearty stew, and we would drink our fill of exotic, spiced wines from the furthest corners of the world. Oh, how we wanted for nothing! And oh, how this wanton and careless display of opulence enraged the local peasantry! If you listened closely -- and my father did not -- you'd hear their talk turn to revolution, their words baited with venom, their intentions violent and resolute. I awoke one morning to find our castle engulfed in flames, my father screaming for his life and fleeing on horseback, abandoning me to whatever cruel fate the revolutionaries had in store for me. And so I grabbed what little I could, including these fine sandals by Adidas, and I ran out into the dusty roads, beating a hasty escape from the life I had known and all it entailed. I know not where the road ahead will take me. But I do know that I will walk that road in comfort and style, with these reasonably priced and durable Adidas Duramo Slide Sandals in Navy and White, Size 12M.

Updated...it's been 1.5 yrs and still wearing these slides (same pair)..Needless to say, I still love them. Here to find more colors. great investment. Before update: I am a womyn wearing these slides and my review is based upon this fact. The slides are comfortable and fit well for me. I have a narrow foot and did not want the perfect fit meaning having my toes and heel right at the edge of the shoe but also not with too much room left. I like the inner feel of the slides over the regular Duramo slides. I have plantar fasciitis and I can walk around longer in these slides than I can the typical Duramo. The slides are durable. I've been wearing them for over 6 months now and I pretty much wear them every day. I haven't had a problem with sliding on wet turf so I feel safe wearing them. This particular color pretty much compliments any color outfit. I wear these in public showers, the pool but mainly at home and during driving. I am definitely looking for other pairs in different colors. I like these slides b/c they are not heavy and unlike some of the other Duramo types, when you get the inside top of the shoe wet, it dries immediately when wiped, unlike the others in which you have to wait for the cotton to dry. These may look flimsy and heavy to someone's eyes but they really aren't. I expect these to last a very long time.

Very nice product and not just for the price....good product period. i used to own the 1968 classic Adidas slipper, which i liked but they ripped after a few years as it was made from 2 pieces glued/stamped together. this item is superior in a way that it is all one solid piece of plastic/resin (whatever the material is) it is also quiet comfortable...fits like a glove! The only thing you should be aware of is.... if you have high arches order one size larger. I knew this ahead of time since ive been down with adidas since forever also i would like to point out something i read in another buyer's review.... this is actually one of the reasons i purchased them... they are molded in such a nice form that whether you are putting them on with socks or without you feel no resistance and they just slide right on. ive only been wearing them for 4 minutes so far, but i know they will NOT rip like all other non adidas slippers i had before they call them sandals, i call them slippers. not sure if sandal is an appropriate term for these, but who cares! buy them, love them!

I am a woman with a slightly wider than average foot and usually wear regular width size 8.5. I tried a men's size 6 and a women's version size 9 before settling on a men's size 8. There was no size 7 available in this color, but I don't think that would have fit in the width anyway as even the 8 is a little tight. The strap is narrow, I suppose so the shoe doesn't fall off of narrow feet. They don't adjust so you are pretty much stuck with the width of the strap across your foot, although after breaking in it stretches a little. I would give it 5 stars if they came in a wide width- women's wide width would be perfect, in cute colors would be heavenly! After a day or two breaking in and molding to my foot (the arch support feels super weird at first and then you don't even notice it), they are very comfortable and overall I am pleased. They are not super cute since they are scaled for men but they do the job as a house shoe/shower shoe. Lots of cushion and one piece molded that can be easily cleaned. Better than the 2-piece 10 year old Nike slides that they are replacing.

Great slide for a good price. Fits me true to size, comfortable and has a bit of arch support. I wear a men's 11 in adidas cleats and these feel great when I thrown them on after a game. These replaced a pair of slides with adjustable velcro straps that tore off from the body of the footbed/sole. The entire sandal appears to be one piece, so hopefully these are more durable than ones with straps that are glued on. My pair came with a tag letting me know they can be used in the shower (rubber construction), which is good to know as some slides are made with fabrics.

Unisex sizes - check the chart before ordering. I am a woman with a 7 1/2 shoe size, I ordered a 7 and I find them a little roomy wide. I had a pair in late high school and into college and I murdered them for years until the point the band on the top came off. They were thrown around, worn with socks and without, thrown in bags, closets, stuffed heel to band into each-other for space saving (which I think effected the band), showered and used at the pool and thoroughly abused. They felt great on my feet after hours of volleyball or softball tournaments. The sole is hard and smooth and has arch support - I have high arches. I you want a pair of slides that will last through the worst beatings these are the ones for you. They are great quality and I love that addidas didn't put their logo on them, I like the simple style of the lines. I have some trouble with my feet hurting so I personally wouldn't be able to wear these all day while standing or walking on my feet but I'm sure because of the solid hard sole on the bottom that it would be great support for others who don't share my sensitivity.

Was looking for an easy on/easy off pool/beach sandal without that awful piece between the toes. This is the one. Size was spot on, I wear an 11M, I ordered an 11, perfect. Does not fly off my foot, like many slide designs I have tried. Nice arch for comfort. I can wear it for trips to the store or gas station. Wore for several hours, first day. Molded to my foot very well. I wear it around the house, instead of my bedroom slippers. Much better. When it gets dirty/funky, I swish it in a bucket of soapy water and rinse. Good to go. Good job Adidas.

I've gone through several pairs of sandals with varying designs (soft squishy bottom, interesting patterned bottom, etc) and all of them have one major problem: they smell *terrible* after a short period of time if get them wet. So, at long last, I decided to make smell a priority when looking for sandals, and found these with their smooth hard bottoms. These do not stink. And I think that's amazing. In addition, while these do feel a bit stiff and flat at first, they seem to break in after awhile. Or at least, after wearing them for a few days I thought they were pretty comfortable.

Para mi son las mejores sandalias es la 4a vez que las compro

MUY CÓMODAS Y DURADERAS, EXCELENTE CALIDAD.

I have a pair of Adidas Superstar slides that I bought about 7 years ago. I've used them every day since. Toughest and most comfortable slide/flip flop's I've ever had! They were starting to show some signs of excessive wear in some areas (although I'm still wearing them), so naturally, I was going to replace them with their latest counterparts. A definable no brainier! These don't have the memory foam soles like the old Superstars, but they're completely waterproof, which the old ones weren't. Still very comfortable though. Hope they turn out to be as durable as the 'ol Superstars. Love these slides!!

Originales buenos y duraderos Llevo más de 2 años con ellos usándolos uso diario y siguen en perfectas condiciones Mejores de toda la vida!

Son cómodos, pero hay un modelo más cómodo aún sin embargo todo bien
