FAQs
Is the Adistar Control 5 good for wide feet?
The model features a 'regular fit,' which is standard for most users. If you have exceptionally wide feet, you may find the snug nature of the mesh upper requires sizing up.
Can I remove the sockliner?
Yes, the textile sockliner is typically removable if you need to insert your own custom orthotic insoles.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
No, the open-mesh upper is designed for maximum breathability and will allow water to pass through if exposed to heavy rain.
How do I know my correct UK size?
The Adistar Control 5 follows standard UK sizing. We recommend choosing your usual shoe size, or referencing an existing pair of adidas trainers for the best match.
Are these trainers suitable for the gym?
They are excellent for light cardio and walking, but they are not specifically designed for heavy weightlifting or high-stability lateral training.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort after long walks
Ensure your laces are not tied too tightly across the top of the arch and verify that the inner sockliner is laid flat.
Mesh becoming dirty quickly
Use a specialized sneaker protector spray before wearing them to help repel dust and minor stains.
Minor squeaking on smooth surfaces
This is often due to debris on the outsole; wipe the soles with a damp cloth to restore grip and eliminate noise.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Adistar Control 5 sneakers remain in peak condition, follow these simple guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Since the shoe features a regular fit, it generally requires minimal breaking in. Wear them for short durations for the first few days to allow the upper to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the mesh upper. For deeper stains, gently spot-clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes or machine washing them, as this can damage the structural integrity of the metallic overlays.
- Storage: Keep your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading of the green fabric and to maintain the flexibility of the midsole cushioning.
- Lacing: Adjust the laces to accommodate your preferred tension; the standard lacing system is designed to provide secure lockdown without restricting natural foot movement.
