FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing conventions for adult adidas footwear.

Can I use these for marathon running?

While comfortable, these are designed as lifestyle and casual trainers rather than technical performance marathon gear.

Are they water-resistant?

No, the open mesh upper is designed for maximum breathability and will let water through in heavy rain.

How do I clean the white sections of the sole?

Use a sponge with mild soapy water or a dedicated trainer cleaning solution to wipe down the rubber midsole.

Are the insoles removable?

Yes, the standard insoles can be removed if you need to insert personal orthotics.

Troubleshooting

Mesh upper accumulating too much dust

Use a soft-bristled brush or a vacuum on a low setting to gently remove debris from the mesh pores.

Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time

Ensure you are allowing 24 hours between heavy wear sessions to let the EVA foam recover its structure.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent ventilation due to open mesh construction
  • Responsive cushioning for city commuting
  • Versatile, classic aesthetic
  • Lightweight construction for all-day wear

Cons

  • Not suitable for high-intensity trail running
  • Design may not offer enough arch support for those with flat feet
  • Limited to urban surface environments

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The adidas Adistar Control 5 comes ready to wear out of the box with standard lacing. To ensure longevity, use the following care tips: keep them away from direct heat sources when drying, and clean them with a soft, damp cloth or a gentle brush to remove dust from the mesh. Avoid machine washing, as the agitation can compromise the adhesive bonds between the EVA midsole and the outsole. To maintain their shape, stuff them with newspaper or shoe trees when not in use for extended periods.
