FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The Adistar Control 5 are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear, inspired by running silhouettes. They are not intended for serious athletic performance or long-distance running.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is primarily constructed from a textile material, featuring an open-mesh design for breathability, complemented by metallic overlay accents.

How do I determine the right size?

Refer to the adidas sizing chart available on the product page or retailer website. Ensure you measure your foot length accurately for the best fit.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

The mesh upper offers breathability but is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.

What is the main benefit of the metallic overlays?

The metallic overlays add a distinct visual element, enhancing the shoe's retro-modern aesthetic and contributing to its unique style.

How should I clean the rubber outsole?

Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a soft brush with mild soap and water, then rinse with a clean damp cloth.

What is the intended fit of these trainers?

These trainers are designed with a regular fit, aiming for a comfortable and standard feel suitable for most adult feet.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight

Loosen the laces and readjust for a more comfortable fit. Ensure you are using the correct size; consult sizing charts if unsure.

Grip feels insufficient on wet surfaces

While the rubber outsole offers good grip, caution is advised on extremely wet or slippery surfaces. Ensure the outsole is free from debris.

Mesh upper appears dirty

Gently wipe the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry.
