FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, the Adistar Control 5 is designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer for casual, everyday wear rather than for high-intensity sports or running.

How should I clean the leather?

Use a soft cloth and a gentle leather cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or submerging the shoes in water.

Do these trainers run true to size?

The trainers follow standard UK sizing for adults. If you prefer a looser fit or wear thick socks, some users recommend trying a half-size up.

Can the insoles be removed?

The construction is designed to be integrated. We recommend keeping the original insole in place to maintain the intended cushioning and support.

Are these suitable for wet weather?

While the leather is durable, it is not waterproof. It is best to avoid heavy rain to protect the integrity of the material.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on the leather upper

Use shoe trees when not in use to help the leather maintain its shape and minimize deep crease lines.

Laces coming untied frequently

Ensure you are using a double knot or a secure bow; because the laces are part of a low-profile design, they may need to be pulled tighter to lock the foot in place.

General surface dirt

Gently clean with a damp, soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the leather or putting the shoes in a washing machine.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable leather upper material
  • Lightweight EVA cushioning for all-day comfort
  • Classic retro-inspired aesthetic
  • Secure fit with adjustable lace-up system
  • Padded interior components enhance wearability

Cons

  • Not intended for high-intensity sports or running
  • Low-profile silhouette may lack arch support compared to dedicated performance shoes
  • Leather material requires specific cleaning care

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your trainers stay in peak condition, proper maintenance is essential. For initial setup, loosen the laces completely before your first wear to ensure the tongue is centered correctly against your foot. For daily care, wipe the leather surface with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather to crack. Ensure you check the sizing against the UK adult standards provided, as the secure lace-up fit is intended to maintain a snug silhouette.
