FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?

While these revive a classic running silhouette, they are optimized for lifestyle and casual use rather than technical long-distance athletic performance.

Does the strap closure provide enough support?

Yes, the strap is designed to provide a secure, locked-in feel that is sufficient for walking and daily activities.

Can I replace the straps if they wear out?

The straps are integrated into the construction of the shoe and are not designed to be replaced by the user.

How do I determine my size for this model?

The Adistar Control 5 fits true to size. We recommend ordering your standard adidas shoe size.

Are the metallic materials waterproof?

The metallic overlays are water-resistant but are not fully waterproof; it is best to avoid heavy rain to maintain the finish.

What is the best way to store these shoes?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the white materials and metallic elements to fade or yellow over time.

Troubleshooting

Strap does not hold securely

Ensure the velcro area is free of lint, hair, or debris by using a soft brush.

Scuffs appearing on metallic overlays

Use a specialized sneaker cleaning wipe or a very soft cloth with a tiny amount of water to gently buff the area.

Upper mesh looks dingy

Mix a small amount of mild detergent with water and gently dab the mesh; avoid scrubbing too hard to prevent fabric fraying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The Adistar Control 5 follows a regular fit, so most users should select their standard size. To ensure the longest lifespan for your trainers, avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the adhesive in the metallic overlays and the mesh integrity. Instead, clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. For the white mesh components, a gentle brush can help remove dirt trapped in the weave. Keep the strap mechanism free of debris to ensure the fasteners remain secure over time.
