FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While based on a retro-runner silhouette, these are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear rather than long-distance athletic running.

Is the material waterproof?

No, the textile upper is breathable and will likely absorb water if exposed to rain; it is best to avoid wearing them in wet conditions.

Can I wash these in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as the heat and agitation can damage the textile materials and adhesive bonds.

What is the primary color of the shoe?

The shoe features a prominent green colorway inspired by the Rayquaza Pokémon.

Is this a unisex model?

Yes, the Adistar Control 5 Rayquaza is designed as a unisex trainer suitable for all genders.

Troubleshooting

The textile upper has accumulated dust or light debris.

Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently whisk away surface dirt. For deeper stains, dab with a cloth soaked in lukewarm water and a tiny drop of gentle detergent.

The shoes feel slightly snug across the midfoot.

Try adjusting the lacing pattern to be looser through the eyelets over the bridge of the foot to relieve pressure.

Creasing on the midsole during use.

Creasing is a natural characteristic of foam-based midsoles in retro-runners; using shoe trees when not in use can help maintain the shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your trainers last, follow these care and setup guidelines:

  1. Sizing: These trainers follow standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to choose your usual size for the best fit.
  2. Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the outsole. For the textile upper, use a mild soap and a damp microfiber cloth. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the fabric and color.
  3. Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the vibrant green color from fading.
  4. Maintenance: If the laces become frayed or dirty, they can be easily replaced with standard athletic laces. Ensure you re-lace them loosely to maintain the intended aesthetic of the Adistar Control 5 model.
