FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?

Yes, they are designed for performance and feature Adiprene+ cushioning, making them capable of handling daily training distances.

How do I clean the upper part of the shoe?

Use a soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water to spot clean the mesh; do not submerge the shoes or use bleach.

Can these be used for gym workouts?

The stable EVA midsole makes them suitable for moderate weight training and general gym activity.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, the open mesh upper is designed for maximum breathability and will not repel water.

Do these fit true to size?

They generally follow standard adidas sizing; however, it is recommended to ensure your specific UK size is confirmed using the provided size options.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on the mesh

Gently pat with a damp cloth and mild soap; do not scrub aggressively to avoid fraying the mesh fibers.

Loss of cushioning feel

Check if the midsole foam has compressed over extensive mileage; replacing the insoles may provide a refreshed feel.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Iconic, authentic Y2K aesthetic
  • Highly breathable construction
  • Responsive forefoot cushioning
  • Durable traction for city streets

Cons

  • Retro design may not offer the extreme lightness of contemporary racing flats
  • Limited availability in specific sizes
  • Specific aesthetic may not suit all training environments

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Adistar Control 5 trainers last, begin by checking for a snug but comfortable fit to prevent movement inside the shoe. Keep the laces secure to maximize the support provided by the midsole. When cleaning, avoid machine washing; instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud or debris from the outsole. For the mesh upper, gently spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Always air-dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to maintain the integrity of the adhesive and foam components.
