FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

These shoes are designed as lifestyle trainers based on running silhouettes; they are not intended for serious athletic performance or long-distance running.

How should I clean the white mesh?

Use a soft-bristled brush or damp cloth with a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals that could yellow or damage the synthetic mesh.

Does the strap closure provide enough support?

Yes, the strap system is designed to provide a secure fit across the midfoot for daily activities.

Are these true to size?

The Adistar Control 5 features a regular fit, generally consistent with standard adidas sizing.

Can I replace the insoles?

While the factory insoles are removable, using non-standard orthotics may alter the fit of the shoe, so proceed with care.

Troubleshooting

Strap closure losing stickiness

Use a pair of tweezers to carefully remove lint, hair, or debris caught in the hook-and-loop material.

Scuff marks on metallic overlays

Gently wipe the affected area with a soft cloth dipped in mild soapy water and dry immediately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Adistar Control 5 trainers stay in optimal condition, treat the surface with a gentle cleaner suitable for mesh fabrics. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or putting them in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the metallic overlays and adhesive components. For the strap closure, ensure the hook-and-loop fasteners remain free of lint or debris to maintain their grip. When not in use, store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the color integrity of the white material.
