FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?

The Adistar Control 5 W are designed with cushioning for everyday comfort and light activities. For marathon running or high-intensity athletic performance, specialized running shoes with advanced support and technology would be more appropriate.

What is the primary benefit of the Adiprene+ in the forefoot?

Adiprene+ in the forefoot provides enhanced cushioning and responsiveness, offering comfort and a smoother transition during each step.

How do I know if I've chosen the correct size?

It is recommended to measure your foot and compare it with the Adidas sizing chart. The product title specifies 'UK 6.5', so ensure this matches your usual size or foot measurement.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the trainers. Hand wash gently using a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.

What is the main colour family of this specific shoe?

The main colour family for this specific variant is Blue, with secondary Dark Brown and Grey Five details.

Are these trainers waterproof?

These trainers are not designed to be waterproof. The open mesh upper prioritizes breathability, which means they are not resistant to heavy rain or submersion in water.

What does 'Adistar Control 5 W' signify?

'Adistar' refers to a line of Adidas footwear, 'Control 5' indicates the model and its generation, and 'W' signifies that it is designed for women.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If the fit is still snug, wearing thinner socks or allowing a short break-in period may help. Consider trying a half-size up if persistent discomfort occurs.

Traction seems poor

Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris that might be reducing grip. Ensure the surface you are walking on is not excessively wet or slippery.

Discoloration on materials

Follow the care instructions using a damp cloth for light cleaning. For specific stains, consult a specialist shoe cleaner suitable for mesh and synthetic materials.
