FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Adistar Control 5 Trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle wear and casual comfort. While they offer a secure fit and good grip, they may not provide the specialized support or cushioning required for dedicated athletic running.
How do I determine my UK shoe size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Adidas or the retailer. Generally, UK sizing is distinct from US or EU sizing. The product information indicates this pair is a UK size 3.5.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the safest method to preserve the materials and shape of the shoe.
What is the main advantage of the open-mesh upper?
The open-mesh upper provides excellent breathability, allowing air to circulate and keeping your feet cool and comfortable, especially during warmer weather or extended wear.
How do the metallic overlays affect the shoe?
The metallic overlays are a stylistic element that adds a modern, eye-catching flair to the 00s-inspired design. They do not typically affect the shoe's performance or comfort.
What kind of grip does the rubber outsole offer?
The rubber outsole is designed to provide reliable traction on various urban surfaces like pavement and sidewalks, ensuring stability during everyday activities.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overtightened. If the issue persists, consider if this is the correct size or if insoles are being used that reduce interior space.
Soles feel slippery
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from mud, oil, or other residues. For new shoes, the sole might be slightly slicker until worn in. If the problem continues on wet surfaces, the grip may be less effective than specialized athletic footwear.
Mesh upper seems delicate
Avoid contact with sharp objects or abrasive surfaces that could snag or tear the mesh. Clean gently with a soft brush and mild soap, rather than scrubbing vigorously.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Designed for adult unisex wear, suitable for UK sizes 3.5 and up. They are compatible with casual and streetwear attire.
Care: To maintain the condition of your Adistar Control 5 Trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the textile and mesh upper with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Use a damp cloth or a soft brush to clean the rubber outsole. Stubborn dirt can be removed with a specialized shoe cleaner.
- Drying: Always air dry the shoes at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Keeping them in a shoe bag can protect them from dust and damage.
