Which is better for the pool or shower?

The adidas Adilette. Its quick-dry lining and rubber outsole handle wet floors better than the Athletic Works slide, which lists neither.

The Adilette is the safer bet. It has a rubber outsole and a design sold since 1972, while the Athletic Works slide is a lightweight store-brand pair with no outsole details listed.

Is the Adilette worth the extra 52 cents?

Yes for most shoppers. The price gap is tiny and you get a contoured Cloudfoam footbed, quick-dry lining and rubber outsole.

Which is better for wide feet?

Neither has an adjustable strap. The Adilette runs true to size with a regular fit; the Athletic Works slide is not adjustable, so try your usual size first.

Which is cheaper right now?

The Athletic Works Tunnel Slide at $10.48 at Walmart as of November 5, 2026, against $11.00 for the Adilette at ShopSimon on the same date.
