FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for serious running?
These trainers are inspired by a classic running style and offer comfortable cushioning for everyday wear. For dedicated or high-intensity running, specialized running shoes with advanced support features may be more appropriate.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Gently spot clean the mesh upper using a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Rinse the cloth and wipe away any soap residue. Allow the shoes to air dry completely.
What is the purpose of Adiprene+ in the forefoot?
Adiprene+ is a cushioning material designed to provide enhanced shock absorption in the forefoot area, contributing to a smoother and more comfortable stride.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
While this specific model is blue and silver, other colorways and variations of the Adistar Control series may be available from adidas Originals.
What is the fit like?
The fit is generally considered standard for trainers. However, due to the retro design and mesh construction, some users may prefer to try them on or consult sizing charts. They are designed for adult female feet.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the materials, especially the synthetic overlays and cushioning. Hand or spot cleaning is the preferred method.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight
Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing them with thinner socks. The mesh upper offers some flexibility, and they may loosen slightly with wear.
Traction feels poor on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole is designed for general traction. For significantly wet or slippery conditions, exercise caution. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris.
Discoloration of metallic accents
Avoid harsh cleaning chemicals. If discolored, try gently wiping with a damp cloth. Prolonged exposure to harsh elements can affect metallic finishes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers require no setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. They are designed for general adult use. To care for your Adistar Control 5 trainers, avoid machine washing. Instead, spot clean the upper with a mild detergent and a damp cloth, paying attention to the mesh and synthetic overlays. Allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources. For the rubber outsole, use a brush to remove any caked-on dirt. Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain their shape and material integrity.
