FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard Adidas sizing, but it is recommended to reference the UK size guide before purchase.

Can I use these for running?

While they feature running-inspired technology like Adiprene+, they are primarily lifestyle trainers intended for casual wear and walking.

Are the shoes unisex?

Yes, the Adistar Control 5 is designed as a unisex model.

How do I clean the metallic overlays?

Gently wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth to avoid scratching or stripping the metallic finish.

Is the sole non-marking?

The sole is designed for standard urban surfaces; however, be mindful on polished indoor gymnasium floors.

Troubleshooting

Laces coming undone

Use a double knot or replace with slightly textured athletic laces for better grip.

Build-up of dust in the mesh

Use a soft-bristled brush or a light compressed air spray to clear the pores of the mesh upper.

Midsole foam loses responsiveness

Ensure the shoes are not left in extreme heat, such as inside a hot car, which can prematurely degrade EVA material.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight construction ideal for all-day comfort
  • Breathable mesh material prevents overheating
  • Responsive forefoot technology for a natural feel
  • Distinctive retro-inspired design
  • Versatile unisex sizing

Cons

  • Primarily designed for lifestyle rather than professional sports
  • Metallic overlays may show wear with heavy friction
  • Specific colourway may require careful matching with outfits

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers feature a standard lacing system, allowing for a customizable lockdown. For optimal comfort, ensure your laces are tightened securely to avoid heel slip during movement. To maintain the shoes, it is recommended to clean them with a soft brush to remove dust from the open-mesh fabric. For more significant stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemicals on the metallic overlays to prevent fading. Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the foam cushioning.
