FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While the Adistar Control 5 has roots in running, it is currently positioned as a lifestyle trainer designed for everyday wear.

How do I ensure the right size?

The Adistar Control 5 typically fits true to size, following standard Adidas sizing conventions for men.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the TPU overlays and degrade the adhesive components.

Are the materials waterproof?

No, the trainers feature an open mesh upper intended for breathability, meaning they are not waterproof.

What is the primary material?

The upper is constructed from layered mesh with synthetic TPU overlays for support.

Troubleshooting

Laces coming undone during activity

Ensure you are using a secure knot, such as a double knot or surgeon's knot, to keep the laces tensioned throughout the day.

Accumulated dust in mesh upper

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove debris from the mesh pores without applying excessive pressure.

Creasing in the midsole

Midsole creasing is a natural characteristic of EVA foam; to minimize, store shoes with a shoe tree when not in use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Distinctive mid-2000s retro styling
  • Breathable mesh upper keeps feet cool
  • Lightweight EVA foam cushioning
  • Stable structure due to TPU overlays

Cons

  • Not intended for high-intensity athletic training
  • Material aesthetic may not suit formal environments
  • Requires regular cleaning to maintain metallic accents

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting the best fit starts with the lace-up system; pull the laces firmly but evenly to allow the TPU overlays to hug your midfoot for maximum stability. These trainers are designed for standard adult foot shapes; ensure you choose your consistent Adidas size for the best experience. To maintain the appearance of the metallic overlays and mesh, clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the trainers in water or using harsh chemicals that could degrade the synthetic materials. Always air-dry naturally away from direct heat sources to preserve the foam midsole's shape.
