FAQs
Are these shoes water-resistant?
No, the open-mesh upper is designed for maximum breathability and will allow water to penetrate easily.
Are these suitable for long-distance running?
While based on a running silhouette, the Adistar Control 5 is best suited for casual, lifestyle, and urban walking rather than dedicated athletic performance training.
How do I clean the metallic overlays?
Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to wipe them down gently. Avoid abrasive brushes that could scratch the finish.
What is the fit of this shoe?
The model features a regular fit, which is standard for most Adidas footwear.
Can I remove the insoles?
Yes, the textile sockliner is typically removable if you wish to insert custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone during activity
Use a double-knot or ensure the laces are threaded tightly through the eyelets before tying.
Mesh upper accumulating dust or debris
Use a soft-bristled brush or a vacuum hose attachment to gently remove surface dirt from the mesh weave.
Midsole feeling less cushioned over time
Check the condition of the insoles; replacing them with high-quality aftermarket inserts can often rejuvenate the feel of the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Adistar Control 5 trainers maintain their condition, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While they feel comfortable immediately, allow for a few days of light wear to let the materials conform to your foot.
- Cleaning: Wipe the synthetic and mesh upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents which may damage the metallic overlays.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature away from direct sunlight or high heat sources, which can warp the EVA midsole.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup within the mesh lining.
