FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?

The Adistar Control 5 is designed as a versatile trainer suitable for daily use and shorter running sessions; it provides great support for varied urban activity.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

The model is available in various UK sizes. We recommend measuring your foot length and referencing the standard adidas fit guide to select your best fit.

Is the material waterproof?

No, the open mesh upper is designed for breathability, meaning it will allow water to pass through if exposed to heavy rain.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the internal lining is designed to accommodate standard replacement insoles if you require custom orthotics.

What is the primary difference between Adiprene and Adiprene+?

Adiprene+ is a specialized material placed specifically in the forefoot to improve efficiency and responsiveness during the propulsion phase of your stride.

Troubleshooting

Outer mesh picking up debris

Use a soft-bristled brush or canned air to gently dislodge dust and grit from the open mesh holes.

Midsole foam showing creases

EVA midsole creasing is a natural characteristic of the material's compression; it does not affect the long-term structural integrity of the shoe.

Slippage on damp indoor surfaces

Wipe the rubber outsole with a dry cloth to remove dust or accumulated surface slickness that may temporarily reduce traction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent ventilation thanks to the open mesh construction
  • Reliable forefoot propulsion via Adiprene+ technology
  • Classic visual appeal based on original early 2000s styling
  • Durable rubber outsole suitable for daily street use

Cons

  • Design reflects legacy technology rather than latest maximalist trends
  • Bright yellow colorway may not suit all minimalist wardrobes
  • Limited to standard width profiles

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Adistar Control 5 trainers last as long as possible, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Routine Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after use.
  2. Stain Removal: Use a mild soap solution and a damp cloth to spot clean the mesh; avoid submerging in water.
  3. Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can warp the EVA midsole.
  4. Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry area to maintain the integrity of the textile lining.
  5. Sizing: These shoes are available in standard adult sizing; ensure a thumb-width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe for optimal fit.
