FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

These trainers are designed for lifestyle and casual use rather than dedicated high-mileage athletic performance.

How do I ensure the right fit?

The Adistar Control 5 follows standard UK sizing. If you prefer a looser fit for casual wear, consider your standard size.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to wash them in a machine as this can damage the metallic overlays and adhesives.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper features a breathable open-mesh design complemented by metallic synthetic overlays.

Do these provide arch support?

They feature a standard foam midsole, but for specialized arch support, you may wish to add your own orthotic insoles.

Troubleshooting

Mesh upper becomes soiled

Use a soft brush with a mild detergent solution to gently scrub the mesh, then allow to air dry.

Loss of cushioning comfort

Check the insole for wear and replace it with a standard aftermarket performance insole if necessary.

Slippery outsole grip

Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dust and debris that can reduce traction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent breathability due to open-mesh construction
  • Lightweight feel makes them ideal for all-day wear
  • Stylish, authentic retro aesthetic
  • Reliable cushioning for city walking

Cons

  • Not intended for technical trail running
  • Limited to lifestyle and casual use
  • Requires regular cleaning to maintain light-coloured mesh

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. For optimal care, it is recommended to spot clean the mesh material using a soft-bristled brush and mild soapy water. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemicals, as this may degrade the metallic overlays or the integrity of the foam midsole. For long-term storage, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the upper materials from fading or becoming brittle. If they become damp, air-dry them at room temperature rather than using a direct heat source.
