FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?

While the Adistar XLG 2.0 offers excellent comfort and impact absorption, they are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual athletic use rather than professional long-distance training.

How do I maintain the vibrant colours?

Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals and direct sunlight. Clean gently with mild soap and water to prevent the purple and pink tones from fading.

Can I remove the insoles?

Yes, the custom sockliners are designed to be removable if you need to use orthotic inserts.

Are these shoes true to size?

The Adistar XLG 2.0 generally fits true to size for most adults, though the TPU cage provides a snug, supportive fit.

Is the rubber outsole non-marking?

The rubber outsole is durable and designed for urban environments; however, it is always recommended to test on delicate indoor floors.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on the TPU cage

Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the TPU maintain its shape and minimize excessive bending.

Dirt stuck in the 3D moulded heel spikes

Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently dislodge debris from the crevices of the heel spikes.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Adistar XLG 2.0 trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Breaking-in: Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow the custom sockliners and TPU structure to mold to your foot shape.
  2. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water to clean the mesh and rubber parts. Do not machine wash or dry, as high heat can damage the Adiprene foam and adhesive bonds.
  3. Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration of the purple and pink hues.
  4. Lace Care: Treat the Poké Ball lace dubraes with care during cleaning to ensure they remain securely attached to the laces.
