FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing; however, since they feature a padded collar, some users prefer a slightly roomier fit.
Can I use these for running?
These are lifestyle trainers; while they offer support, they are not engineered for professional-level running or long-distance impact.
How do I best clean the leather?
Use a damp, lint-free cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
Are these suitable for wet weather?
Leather is naturally somewhat resistant, but they are not waterproof. We recommend a protective spray for better weather resistance.
Can I replace the insoles?
The insoles are generally removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feeling too stiff initially
Wear them indoors for short durations and use a leather conditioner to help soften the material.
Visible dirt on white sections
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a mild soap solution with a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub the leather.
Laces coming untied frequently
Double knot the laces or replace them with higher-friction cotton laces if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Adistar Control 5 trainers maintain their condition, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear them for short periods initially to allow the leather to soften and mold to your foot.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid machine washing, which can damage the adhesive and leather integrity.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or fading of the red accents.
- Protection: Consider applying a leather-safe water-repellent spray to protect against light rain and stains.
