FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?

While they are inspired by running designs, the Adistar Control 5 is primarily engineered for daily lifestyle use rather than high-mileage athletic training.

How should I clean the white mesh?

Gently hand wash with a soft-bristle brush and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes or putting them in a washing machine.

Do these trainers run true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing; however, since they feature a secure lace fastening, you can adjust them for a more personalized fit.

What is the purpose of the Adiprene+ insert?

The Adiprene+ unit is located in the forefoot to provide extra cushion and energy efficiency, contributing to the shoe's lightweight feel.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the insoles can be removed if you prefer to use your own custom orthotics.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the mesh construction is designed for breathability and will not keep your feet dry in heavy rain.

Troubleshooting

Laces coming undone during activity

Ensure you are using a double knot or an extra-secure bow to account for the smooth texture of the laces.

Mesh upper picking up dust or stains

Use a specialized sneaker foam cleaner or a mixture of water and gentle soap, dabbing lightly rather than scrubbing hard to preserve the mesh weave.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces

While the outsole is designed for standard grip, always exercise extra caution on smooth, wet tiles or polished surfaces.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Iconic 2000s-inspired aesthetic
  • Lightweight construction for all-day comfort
  • Breathable material keeps feet cool
  • Reliable traction provided by the rubber outsole

Cons

  • Best suited for casual wear rather than specialized sports
  • Light-colored upper requires regular maintenance
  • Design may not offer the extreme arch support of modern technical runners

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your trainers maintain their look, keep them away from harsh cleaning chemicals. Spot clean the mesh upper with a mild detergent and a soft cloth or brush. For the rubber outsole, a damp cloth is sufficient to remove grit. These trainers feature a standard UK size range and a traditional lace-up system, allowing you to easily adjust the tension across the bridge of your foot. It is recommended to allow the shoes to air dry naturally after cleaning—avoid using high-heat sources like radiators, as these can warp the midsole cushioning materials over time.
