Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These are classified as casual lifestyle trainers. While comfortable, they do not offer the specialized support or motion control required for long-distance running.
How do I maintain the leather material?
Use a leather-specific conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking, and always clean off salt or mud immediately.
Are they true to size?
Yes, the Adistar Control 5 generally fits true to standard UK sizing. If you prefer to wear thick athletic socks, consider the standard fit.
Can I remove the insoles?
The insoles are designed for comfort; however, if you require custom orthotics, ensure they are compatible with the low-profile design of the shoe.
Can these be worn in the rain?
Leather is naturally water-resistant to a degree, but these are not waterproof. Use a leather-safe water repellent spray to enhance protection.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight across the top
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to a wider configuration, or replace the factory laces with thinner versions.
Creasing appears on the leather surface
This is a natural occurrence with genuine leather; using shoe trees when not in use can help maintain the shape and minimize deep creases.
Outer sole losing traction
Check the tread for debris or small stones wedged in the pattern. Clean the bottom with a stiff-bristled brush to restore grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, ensure the lace-up closure is adjusted to accommodate the natural shape of your foot, leaving enough room for swelling during long days. For care, wipe down the leather exterior with a soft, damp cloth after use to remove dirt and dust. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh industrial cleaners, as these can compromise the leather finish. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner and allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent material cracking.
