Product Information

Full details

The adidas Adistar Control 5 Trainers are designed for individuals who appreciate an iconic 2000s-inspired aesthetic combined with reliable everyday comfort. Featuring a breathable mesh upper and responsive Adiprene+ cushioning, these trainers are well-suited for casual daily wear and light activity; however, users should note that as a vintage-inspired model, they lack the advanced technical support found in modern high-performance marathon shoes.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The open mesh construction provides a flexible fit, but it is a standard width trainer.

Can I use these for long-distance marathon running?

No, these are primarily lifestyle and casual-use trainers and lack the advanced stability features required for long-distance running.

How should I clean the mesh upper?

Use a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Dab gently; do not scrub aggressively to avoid tearing the mesh.

Are these unisex?

Yes, the Adistar Control 5 is designed as a unisex model.

Does the rubber outsole provide good grip on wet pavement?

The rubber outsole is designed for standard urban traction, but caution should always be exercised on wet or slippery surfaces.

Can I remove the insoles to use custom orthotics?

Yes, the insoles are removable and accommodate most standard orthotic inserts.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt accumulation in the mesh

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge debris from the mesh gaps before wiping with a damp cloth.

Odour buildup

Remove the insoles after use to let the interior air out fully and use a dedicated shoe deodorizer spray.

Laces coming undone frequently

Consider using a double knot or replacing the laces with textured performance laces if the provided ones feel too slippery.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Adistar Control 5 trainers last, follow these simple care guidelines. The shoes feature standard lacing; ensure they are tied securely to provide a stable fit around the midfoot. For cleaning, avoid the washing machine, as the heat and agitation can degrade the adhesives and foam. Instead, gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush and wipe the upper mesh with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the materials from warping or becoming brittle. The sizing is consistent with standard adidas UK sizing, but we recommend measuring your feet if transitioning from a different brand.
