FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they feature EVA cushioning, these are designed as lifestyle trainers rather than high-performance running shoes.
Do these fit true to size?
They generally follow standard sizing conventions, but because they are leather, they may offer a snug fit initially.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can damage the leather upper and compromise the structural integrity of the shoe.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from high-quality leather.
Are these unisex?
The Adistar Control 5 comes in various size and gender variants; always check the specific product label for intended gender fit.
How do I maintain the rubber outsole?
Brush away dirt and rocks with a soft brush and clean with a damp cloth to keep the tread pattern effective.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight across the midfoot
Loosen the lacing system completely and re-thread to allow more volume, or consider using thinner socks.
Leather surface shows creases or dirt
Clean gently with a damp cloth and use a leather conditioner to maintain suppleness and minimize creasing.
Slipping at the heel
Ensure the shoes are laced securely through the top eyelet to 'lock' the heel in place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Adistar Control 5 trainers last, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Adjust the laces from the bottom eyelets upward to ensure even tension across the midfoot.
- Break-in: If the leather feels stiff initially, wear them for short durations indoors before full-day use.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth. Use a dedicated leather cleaner for stubborn marks. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather drying or discoloration.
- Maintenance: Regularly check the outsole for debris and clean out any pebbles trapped in the tread pattern to maintain maximum grip.
