FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for long-distance running?

The Adistar Control 5 trainers are designed for casual wear and light activities. They provide cushioning for everyday comfort but may not offer the specialized support or durability required for long-distance running.

How do I know if I've chosen the right size?

It's recommended to try on the trainers if possible, as sizing can vary. Ensure there is a little room at the toe (about a thumb's width) and that the heel does not slip excessively when walking.

Can these trainers be washed in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and structural integrity of the shoe. Hand wash using a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry.

What is the primary benefit of the EVA midsole?

The EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) midsole provides lightweight cushioning, helping to absorb impact and offer comfort during daily wear and light activities.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the open-hole mesh upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. These trainers are best suited for dry conditions.

What does 'retro runners' mean in the description?

'Retro runners' refers to a style inspired by classic running shoe designs from past decades. These trainers feature elements that evoke that vintage aesthetic.

How should I store these trainers when not in use?

Store the trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing them in damp conditions, which can affect the materials. Ensure they are clean before long-term storage.

Troubleshooting

Foot feels uncomfortable after wear

Ensure the correct size has been selected. Check that the laces are not tied too tightly, constricting the foot. Consider wearing appropriate socks for added comfort.

Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces

Clean the rubber outsole to remove any dirt or debris that may be affecting grip. Note that while the outsole provides traction, performance on extremely wet surfaces may be limited.

Mesh upper appears dirty

Spot clean the mesh gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher stains, use a soft brush and a mixture of cool water and a small amount of laundry detergent, then rinse carefully and air dry.
