FAQs

Are these shoes water-resistant?

While the leather upper offers more protection than mesh, they are not fully waterproof and should be treated with a leather protectant spray if you intend to wear them in damp conditions.

How do I choose the correct size?

The Adistar Control 5 fits true to standard adult UK sizes. We recommend selecting your usual size for the best fit.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the leather upper and the adhesives used in the sole. Always clean by hand.

What is the primary material?

The exterior of the shoe is made from durable, high-quality leather, providing both structure and style.

Is this a running shoe?

While it features running-inspired technology like Adiprene+, this model is categorized as a trainer for everyday urban and casual use rather than a technical performance running shoe.

Troubleshooting

Leather looks dull after heavy wear

Apply a high-quality leather conditioner to restore moisture and shine.

Creasing in the leather at the toe box

This is normal for genuine leather; using shoe trees when not wearing them can help minimize future creasing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile running-inspired design suitable for most casual outfits
  • Lightweight feel despite the durable leather construction
  • Excellent forefoot support for long days on your feet
  • Secure fit provided by the padded collar and lace-up system

Cons

  • Not intended for high-mileage running or technical sports
  • Leather requires specific care compared to synthetic mesh alternatives
  • Limited ventilation compared to performance-focused knit trainers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your trainers last, follow these maintenance practices:

  1. Break-in: As these are constructed with genuine leather, they may feel slightly stiff out of the box. Wear them indoors for short periods before long outings.
  2. Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth. Use a dedicated leather cleaner for stubborn marks and allow to air dry away from direct heat sources.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Using a shoe tree can help the trainers maintain their original silhouette over time.
  4. Lacing: Avoid overtightening the laces to maintain proper blood circulation in the foot.
