FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While based on a runner silhouette, these are lifestyle trainers intended for casual wear and daily activity, not high-intensity sport performance.

How do I determine my size?

These trainers follow standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to choose your usual size, as the fit is consistent with other Adidas Adistar models.

Are these shoes unisex?

Yes, the Adistar Control 5 Haunter is a unisex model designed to fit a wide range of foot shapes.

Can I wash these in a washing machine?

It is not recommended. Washing machines can damage the adhesive and fade the special Haunter graphic detailing. Stick to hand cleaning.

What is the material composition of the upper?

The upper uses a combination of lightweight, breathable textiles designed for durability and comfort during everyday streetwear use.

Troubleshooting

Laces coming undone frequently

Consider using a double knot or replacing with flat-lace alternatives if the factory laces are too slippery.

Creasing in the toe box

This is normal for textile and synthetic uppers; use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the original shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Striking and unique visual design
  • Lightweight construction for comfort
  • Breathable upper material
  • Versatile for casual streetwear outfits

Cons

  • Bold graphics may not appeal to all tastes
  • Not intended for high-performance athletic sports
  • Limited to specific colorway

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your trainers stay in top condition, follow these guidelines:

  • Breaking In: New trainers may feel stiff; wear them indoors for short intervals before taking them on long walks to let the materials conform to your foot shape.
  • Lacing: Use the traditional lacing system to adjust tension across the midfoot, ensuring the tongue remains centered for maximum comfort.
  • Cleaning: Wipe the upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh industrial detergents that could damage the graphic prints.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the vibrant purple colors and graphics from fading over time.
