Product Overview
The Under Armour UA Locker IV slides represent a sophisticated approach to performance footwear designed for aquatic and athletic environments. These one-piece, moulded EVA slides are specifically engineered to address the challenges of wet surfaces, such as locker rooms and poolsides. By integrating advanced water-management technology directly into the structure of the slide, Under Armour provides a solution that is as functional as it is durable.
Key Features
- One-piece moulded EVA construction eliminates seams and potential failure points, ensuring the slide remains structurally sound through heavy use.
- Quick-drying synthetic materials prevent the retention of moisture, which is essential for maintaining hygiene and comfort in shared facilities.
- The strap, footbed, and outsole are technically engineered to transport water away from the foot, significantly reducing the risk of slipping on wet tiles.
- Lightweight performance design ensures that the slides do not add unnecessary weight to your kit bag, making them an ideal travel companion for professional teams.
Design & Performance
The design philosophy behind the UA Locker IV focuses on efficient fluid dynamics. Unlike standard footwear, the synthetic EVA material used here is non-porous and moulded into a single unit. This means there are no adhesives to degrade when exposed to water or cleaning chemicals. The footbed is textured to provide grip for the sole of the foot even when wet, while the outsole features a tread pattern designed to break surface tension on wet floors, providing reliable traction.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
Despite their specialised synthetic construction, these slides are compatible with both print and embroidery, allowing for high-quality branding. Embroidery provides an authoritative and professional appearance, making it a superior choice for displaying team or company logos with a tactile finish. Printing is highly effective for larger or more complex designs where bold visibility is required. All customisation is carried out by our expert in-house team in Telford, a tradition we have maintained since 1976.
Use Cases
These slides are an essential requirement for professional athletes, staff at leisure centres, and corporate wellness teams. They are perfectly suited for use in communal showers, locker rooms, and poolside environments where quick-drying, hygienic footwear is a priority for safety and personal care.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, please refer to our standard UK sizing. These slides are a medium-width fit; as they are a one-piece moulded item, they do not stretch over time like leather footwear. We recommend choosing your true size to ensure the water-transport channels are correctly aligned with your foot for maximum safety on wet surfaces.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and longevity of your synthetic slides, we recommend rinsing them with fresh water after every use, particularly if they have been in contact with chlorine or salt water. Failure to rinse away these chemicals can lead to the material becoming brittle over time, which may cause premature cracking.
Allow the slides to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources or prolonged sunlight. Subjecting EVA to high heat, such as placing them on a radiator or leaving them in a hot vehicle, can cause the material to warp or shrink, permanently altering the fit and compromising the integrity of any applied customisation.
