Are you planning to get the most popular summer slides on the planet, but are you racking your brain over what Yeezy Slides size to choose? You're not alone. Kanye West and Adidas designed these iconic foam slides with a very specific mold. If you ordered your usual size, it's highly likely that the Slides would pinch your feet, or you wouldn't be able to get your foot in at all.
In this ultimate guide, we'll take a look at how Yeezy Slides sizing actually works, show you a clear size chart, and advise you on which size to choose for the most sought-after colorways like Bone, Onyx, or Slate Grey.
Why do Yeezy Slides have such specific sizing?
Adidas Yeezy Slides are made from a single piece of injected EVA foam. They have a thick sole and a relatively tight upper strap over the instep. What's more, these slides are not made in half sizes. So if you normally wear, for example, EU 42.5, you have to think completely differently when it comes to Yeezy Slides.
Golden rule for Yeezy Slides: It is generally recommended to buy Yeezy Slides at least one full size larger (Size Up) than your standard sneaker size (e.g. for Nike Air Force 1). If you have a high instep or wider foot, don't be afraid to go two sizes larger.
Size chart: Adidas Yeezy Slides (EU vs. CM)
To be 100% sure, measure your foot length in centimeters from heel to toe and compare it with the official chart. Remember that for summer sandals, it's always better to have a few millimeters of clearance at both the heel and toe.
| Official EU size | Recommended for people with normal shoe size | Approximate insole length (cm) |
| EU 37 | You normally wear EU 35.5 - 36 | approx. 22.5 cm |
| EU 38 | You normally wear EU 36.5 - 37 | approx. 23.5 cm |
| EU 39.5 | You normally wear EU 38 | approx. 24.5 cm |
| EU 40.5 | You normally wear EU 39 | approx. 25.0 cm |
| EU 42 | You normally wear EU 40.5 - 41 | approx. 26.0 cm |
| EU 43 | You normally wear EU 41.5 - 42 | approx. 27.0 cm |
| EU 44.5 | You normally wear EU 43 | approx. 28.0 cm |
| EU 46 | You normally wear EU 44 - 44.5 | approx. 29.0 cm |
| EU 47 | You normally wear EU 45 - 46 | approx. 30.0 cm |
Sizing according to specific models: Bone vs. Onyx vs. Slate Grey
You may have noticed on internet forums that different drops fit slightly differently. This is true. The material and finish have changed slightly over the years:
-
Yeezy Slide Bone & Resin (Older restocks): These lighter models tend to have a slightly stiffer EVA foam, and the strap over the instep is very firm. Here, Sizing Up by one to two sizes is an absolute must.
-
Yeezy Slide Onyx, Slate Grey & Granite (Newer drops): Newer dark colorways are made from slightly softer and more pliable foam. After a few days of wear, they will adapt slightly to your foot, but even here, we recommend taking at least one size larger for maximum comfort.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – What are you most interested in?
Will Yeezy Slides stretch over time?
Yes, but only minimally. The EVA foam will slightly give under the pressure of your weight and foot heat, but the strap over the instep will not stretch like leather or textile sandals. If the Slides are tight right out of the box, it's better to exchange them for a larger size.
What should I do if I'm between two sizes?
If, according to the chart, you are exactly between two sizes, always choose the larger option. Looser summer sandals look better on your foot and are much more comfortable than when your heel is sticking out of the shoe.
How to spot fake Yeezy Slides?
Due to the huge hype, the market is flooded with cheap replicas. Original Yeezy Slides can be recognized by the specific matte texture of the material (fakes are often smooth and shiny), the clean molding of the Adidas logo on the heel, and the precise font inside the strap, which must state "YEEZY MADE IN CHINA" or "MADE IN INDIA".
