FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Adistar Control 5 generally follows standard adidas adult sizing. It is recommended to check your size based on the UK scale provided.
Can I use these for long-distance running?
These are primarily designed for casual wear and light workouts. While they offer good comfort, they may lack the specific technical features found in professional-grade long-distance racing shoes.
Is the material machine washable?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as high heat and heavy agitation can damage the structural integrity and adhesive.
What does adiPRENE+ do?
adiPRENE+ is a resilient cushioning material used in the midsole to help provide a responsive, energetic feel with every step.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The contoured construction provides a secure fit; however, due to the structured nature of the archival design, individuals with very wide feet may prefer to try them on for size if possible.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt accumulation on the grey mesh
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry debris, or a damp microfiber cloth with a small amount of mild detergent for stubborn spots.
Midsole feels less cushioned over time
Ensure you are not wearing the shoes in extreme cold, which can harden cushioning materials, and rotate your footwear to allow the foam to decompress.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last, avoid exposing the mesh material to harsh chemicals or deep mud. For daily maintenance, wipe down the exterior with a dry cloth to remove surface dust. If the shoes become soiled, use a soft brush with mild soap and cold water, focusing on the sole and mesh areas gently. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which could degrade the adhesive or materials. Because these are a unisex model, always verify your size against the adult UK sizing chart to ensure the optimal fit, as the contoured construction is designed for a secure, locked-in feel.
