FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Adistar Control 5 is designed for casual wear and everyday use rather than distance running or high-impact athletic performance.
How do I determine my size?
The trainers follow standard adult sizing; it is recommended to check your measurement against the UK size guide provided.
Can the straps be replaced?
The straps are integrated into the shoe design; professional repair would be required if the closure system is damaged.
Are these shoes unisex?
While the specific Adistar Control 5 variant mentioned is listed for female users, the series includes unisex versions; always check the gender designation of your specific pair.
Are they waterproof?
The materials are not waterproof. It is recommended to use a water-repellent spray if you plan on wearing them in light rain.
What is the best way to store them?
Store them in a ventilated area, ideally out of direct sunlight, to preserve the grey and silver colour vibrancy.
Troubleshooting
Strap closure feels loose after prolonged use
Clean the hook-and-loop fabric of the strap to remove lint or debris that may interfere with adhesion.
Visible scuffs on the upper material
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a soft eraser to gently buff away minor surface marks.
Heel slippage
Ensure the strap is tightened appropriately and consider using a heel grip insert for a more secure fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Adistar Control 5 trainers remain in top condition, follow these simple guidelines. For setup, ensure the strap is adjusted to your preferred tension upon first wear to avoid unnecessary stress on the closure mechanism. Regarding compatibility, these trainers match well with casual attire like jeans, leggings, or joggers. To clean, remove loose surface dirt with a soft brush and wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high temperatures can compromise the materials and the adhesive strength of the strap components. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material fading.
