FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

These trainers are lifestyle shoes inspired by 2000s running silhouettes; they are best suited for walking and casual wear rather than technical running.

How do I secure the strap closure?

Simply pull the strap across the top of the foot and press the hook-and-loop material firmly to secure the fit.

Can these be washed in a machine?

Machine washing is generally discouraged. Hand-cleaning is recommended to preserve the shape and the metallic detailing.

Are they true to size?

They feature a regular fit, which typically aligns with standard sizing; refer to your usual adidas footwear size for the best match.

What material is used for the upper?

The upper is constructed from an open-mesh material, providing a lightweight and breathable feel.

Troubleshooting

Strap feels loose after prolonged walking

Adjust the tension of the strap closure to ensure it is firmly secured; ensure no debris is stuck to the hook-and-loop material.

Mesh upper is attracting dust/dirt

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently lift dirt from the mesh weave, then wipe clean with a slightly damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Adistar Control 5 trainers last as long as possible, follow these maintenance tips:

  1. Initial Fit: Ensure the strap closure is tightened to support your arch without restricting circulation.
  2. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap to clean the open-mesh upper; avoid submerging the shoes in water.
  3. Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can warp the metallic overlays or damage the adhesive.
  4. Storage: Keep the shoes in a dry, well-ventilated area to prevent moisture buildup and potential odor.
