Adidas slides are open-toe rubber pool and lounge shoes. People often wear them in the summer when their feet sweat more often. The shoes can develop a bad odor that can transfer to your feet. Prevent this bad smell by airing out the shoes after every use and cleaning them often before they have a chance to smell bad. Use products that will remove the odor rather than those that will simply cover it.
