FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The Adistar Control 5 generally fits true to standard UK sizing, though the mesh upper provides a slightly flexible feel.

Can I run a marathon in these?

While based on running archives, these are considered lifestyle trainers. For long-distance running, professional performance models are recommended.

What is the best way to clean the metallic silver details?

Gently wipe the metallic parts with a soft, damp microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges.

Are the insoles removable?

Yes, the insoles are typically removable if you need to insert custom orthotics for additional support.

Does the mesh upper provide water resistance?

No, the open-mesh material is designed for maximum breathability and will not keep your feet dry in rainy conditions.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt trapped in the open mesh

Use a dry toothbrush to gently agitate and sweep away loose debris from the mesh pores.

Creasing on the toe box area

Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the upper retain its original shape and minimize permanent creasing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the appearance of your Adistar Control 5 trainers, treat them as lifestyle footwear rather than all-terrain gear.

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the mesh. For deeper stains, use a mild soap and a damp cloth; avoid soaking the shoes entirely.
  2. Drying: Always air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the synthetic materials and the EVA foam.
  3. Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry area to prevent the synthetic 3-Stripes and metallic detailing from cracking or fading.
  4. Compatibility: The standard lace-up closure allows for a customizable fit, compatible with various foot shapes in the UK 6.5 size range.
