FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The Adistar Control 5 generally fits true to UK sizing standards for standard width feet.

Can I use these for the gym?

They are suitable for light gym use, such as weight training or casual walking, but are not designed for high-impact sports.

What materials are used in the upper?

The upper primarily consists of breathable mesh with metallic overlays and nylon elements.

How do I maintain the metallic finish?

Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes on the metallic overlays; simply wipe with a soft, damp cloth.

Are these suitable for wet weather?

The mesh construction is breathable, meaning they are not waterproof and are best suited for dry conditions.

Troubleshooting

Laces feel loose during extended walking

Re-thread the laces to ensure they pass through all eyelets, then use a double knot for added security.

Accumulation of dust in the mesh

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove debris from the layered mesh gaps.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Iconic mid-2000s runner design
  • High level of stability via TPU reinforcements
  • Breathable mesh upper maintains comfort
  • Shock-absorbing EVA foam midsole

Cons

  • Not intended for technical sports or marathon running
  • Metallic overlays may show scuffs if handled roughly
  • Larger silhouette profile may not suit minimalists

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers feature a standard lace fastening system, allowing you to customize the lockdown to your preference. To ensure the longevity of the nylon and mesh materials, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. To clean, wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid fully submerging the trainers in water, as this can degrade the internal adhesives and foam integrity.
