FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?

The Adistar Control 5 is designed as a lifestyle and general-purpose trainer. While comfortable, it lacks the advanced support systems required for competitive long-distance road racing.

How should I clean the mesh upper?

Spot clean using mild soap and a soft cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or putting them in a washing machine, as this can damage the structural adhesives.

Are these trainers true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard adult sizing conventions. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size.

Do these shoes provide arch support?

The EVA midsole provides moderate support suitable for most neutral foot types, but they do not feature corrective orthotic structures.

Can the insoles be removed?

Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if required.

Troubleshooting

Outer mesh appears dusty or dirty

Use a soft dry brush to remove loose surface dirt, or wipe gently with a damp microfiber cloth.

Laces feel loose throughout the day

Ensure the laces are threaded through the top eyelet to create a runner's loop for a more secure heel lock.

Excessive moisture inside the shoe

Remove the insole and allow the shoe to air dry in a well-ventilated area for 24 hours.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Iconic, authentic 2000s running style
  • Highly breathable open mesh construction
  • Lightweight cushioning suitable for all-day wear
  • Versatile design for both casual and active use

Cons

  • Not intended for technical long-distance racing
  • Specific retro aesthetic may not suit all fashion preferences
  • Limited to standard width sizing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Adistar Control 5 trainers, proper care is essential. Since the shoes feature an open mesh upper, they are susceptible to dust and debris; regular cleaning with a soft-bristled brush is recommended. If the shoes become damp, air-dry them away from direct heat sources like radiators to maintain the integrity of the foam midsole. Compatibility is straightforward as these are standard lace-up trainers that fit true to size for most adults. Always verify your specific UK size before ordering to ensure the correct fit for your foot shape.
