Product Information

Full details

The adidas Originals Adistar Control 5 trainers are designed for adults seeking a perfect blend of early 2000s retro aesthetics and reliable daily performance. These trainers offer exceptional comfort through a lightweight EVA midsole and breathable mesh construction, making them an ideal choice for casual city walking or everyday wear. While they provide excellent style and support, users should note that the polyester-based upper is best suited for dry or light weather conditions rather than heavy outdoor training in wet environments.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

These trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual use. They are not recommended for high-impact professional running.

How do I clean the white sections?

Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth to gently wipe the material.

What material is the upper made of?

This specific variant uses a durable and breathable polyester mesh.

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally fit true to standard UK sizing for adults. If you prefer a looser fit, some users opt for a half-size up.

Can I replace the sock liner?

Yes, the internal liner can be replaced with custom orthotic inserts if needed, provided they fit within the internal volume of the shoe.

Is the sole non-marking?

The rubber outsole is designed for standard urban use and is generally non-marking on most indoor surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Laces coming undone frequently

Use a double knot or ensure the laces are pulled evenly before tying for a more secure tension.

Mesh upper accumulating dust or debris

Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently remove loose dust before using a damp cloth for deeper cleaning.

Feeling discomfort after long wear

Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly across the bridge of the foot, which can impede circulation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile aesthetic works well with both casual and sporty outfits
  • Lightweight construction reduces fatigue during long hours of wear
  • Excellent breathability due to the open mesh upper material
  • Secure fit provided by the reliable lacing system
  • Durable rubber outsole offers dependable grip

Cons

  • Polyester upper may require extra care to stay clean
  • Not intended for heavy-duty performance or trail running
  • Light-coloured design can show dirt more easily than darker alternatives

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Adistar Control 5 trainers maintain their condition, follow these simple guidelines:

  1. Fit Check: Ensure you wear the socks you intend to pair with these shoes during your initial fitting to get an accurate sense of the size 5.5 volume.
  2. Cleaning: For the polyester mesh upper, use a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth with mild soap to spot clean any surface debris. Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the internal adhesive components.
  3. Drying: Always air-dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can cause the materials to stiffen or warp.
  4. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place and avoid crushing the heel area, as this preserves the structural integrity of the padded sock liner.
