FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for professional running?

While they utilize running technology, they are best suited for daily wear and light activity rather than competitive or marathon distance running.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and material properties. We recommend hand cleaning with a damp cloth.

Is the sizing true to fit?

The Adistar Control 5 follows standard sizing conventions, but the mesh upper offers a more flexible fit compared to leather alternatives.

What is the primary benefit of Adiprene+?

Adiprene+ is specifically placed in the forefoot to provide a responsive 'push-off' feel and superior cushioning during the gait cycle.

Are these trainers unisex?

Yes, this model is designed as a unisex trainer suitable for various foot shapes and styles.

Troubleshooting

The trainers feel stiff when new

Wear them for short periods indoors to allow the EVA foam and textile lining to conform to your foot shape.

Excessive dirt trapped in the mesh

Use a soft brush or a vacuum hose attachment to gently extract debris from the open mesh upper.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality breathability from the mesh upper construction
  • Effective forefoot cushioning with Adiprene+ technology
  • Classic Y2K running aesthetic suitable for casual styling
  • Reliable outsole grip for city walking and daily activities

Cons

  • Not optimized for high-intensity competitive distance running
  • The retro design may lack the extreme stability features of newer tech models
  • Bright yellow and black colorway may not suit all personal style preferences

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Adistar Control 5 trainers last as long as possible, remove loose dirt after use with a soft-bristled brush. If the trainers become wet, air-dry them away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials. For cleaning, use a mild soap and a damp cloth; avoid machine washing as this can damage the structural integrity of the mesh and the cushioning foam. Ensure the size is correct for your foot shape, as the mesh upper provides a flexible fit, though proper lacing is required to maintain midfoot support.
