FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The Adistar Control 5 is designed primarily for comfortable everyday wear and casual use. While they offer cushioning, they are not specifically engineered for high-impact athletic running.

How do I determine my correct size?

The trainers are designed for a regular fit and are true to size. Consult a UK sizing chart and measure your foot if unsure, or try them on in person if possible.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, especially the textile upper and cushioning components. Spot cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method.

What is the sole height?

The sole height is approximately 4 cm at its highest point.

What materials are the trainers made of?

The upper is made of textile and synthetic materials, with a textile lining. The midsole features EVA and Adiprene+, and the outsole is rubber.

How should I clean the beige and cream colors?

For the beige and cream colors, use a damp cloth with mild soap for spot cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive water to maintain the color integrity.

What does 'Adistar Control 5' signify?

'Adistar' is a line from Adidas often associated with performance and comfort, while 'Control 5' likely indicates this is the fifth iteration or a specific model within that series, emphasizing stability and support.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not pulled too tight. Consider wearing them with thinner socks if needed.

Slight discomfort after initial wear

This can be normal as the shoes break in. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the lacing provides adequate support without being restrictive.

Dirt or stains on the textile upper

Gently wipe the affected area with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Rinse the cloth and wipe away any soap residue. Allow to air dry.

Reduced grip on the outsole

Check the outsole for embedded debris like mud or stones. Clean the tread with a brush or damp cloth.
