FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?

No, while they are inspired by early 2000s running shoes, the Adistar Control 5 is intended for lifestyle and casual wear.

How do I determine my size?

This model follows standard adult UK sizing. We recommend choosing the size you typically wear in other adidas Originals trainers.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these sneakers, as it can damage the structural integrity and materials of the shoe.

What is the primary material used?

These trainers feature a combination of synthetic materials and textiles, finished with a durable rubber outsole.

Do these provide arch support?

They offer standard comfort features suitable for daily walking, but they do not contain specific medical-grade orthotic arch support.

Troubleshooting

Laces coming untied frequently

Ensure you are using a double knot or replacing the laces with a slightly more textured material if they become too slick.

Surface dirt on the white upper

Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution or a mild mixture of dish soap and water on a soft sponge, then wipe dry immediately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Adistar Control 5 trainers maintain their look, follow these care steps:

  1. Initial Setup: Ensure the laces are adjusted to your specific foot volume to prevent slippage.
  2. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and a damp cloth; avoid soaking the shoe in water.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading of the silver detailing.
  4. Compatibility: These trainers are standard adult sizing. For the best fit, ensure you are using your standard UK footwear size. If you have a wider foot, consider wearing thinner socks to accommodate the streamlined fit.
