FAQs

Is the Adistar Control 5 a running shoe?

While it draws from 2000s running styles and includes performance tech like Adiprene+, this model is primarily intended for lifestyle and casual wear.

How do I ensure the correct fit?

These trainers are sized in standard UK adult measurements. We recommend checking your foot length against a standard adidas size chart.

Can I wash these in a washing machine?

No. Machine washing can damage the adhesive components and deform the structural integrity of the shoe. Use manual cleaning methods only.

What is the function of Adiprene+?

Adiprene+ is a resilient cushioning material placed in the forefoot to provide a responsive and energized push-off with every step.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The open mesh construction provides a degree of flexibility, though the overall fit is consistent with standard performance-oriented trainers.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on mesh upper

Use a soft-bristled brush or damp cloth to gently dab the area, avoiding rubbing which pushes dirt into the mesh fibers.

Creasing at the toe box

This is normal for mesh and synthetic trainers. Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the shoe maintain its shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-breathability design with open mesh
  • Effective forefoot cushioning for comfortable walking
  • Iconic Y2K-era aesthetic
  • Reliable traction provided by the rubber outsole

Cons

  • Metallic details can show scuffs or fading over time
  • Designed primarily for lifestyle rather than intense athletic performance
  • Limited to specific colorway preferences

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your trainers last, regular maintenance is recommended. Since the upper is made of mesh, avoid using harsh brushes that could snag the material.

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid fully submerging the shoes in water.
  2. Drying: Air dry only. Keep away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the adhesive from weakening or the materials from warping.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to preserve the vibrancy of the metallic silver details.
  4. Compatibility: These trainers feature a standard lace-up closure allowing for a customizable fit for various foot shapes.
