FAQs

Is the Adistar Control 5 a dedicated long-distance running shoe?

While it features performance-inspired technology like an EVA midsole, it is best suited for everyday wear, walking, and light fitness activities rather than marathon-distance running.

How do I choose the right size?

These trainers follow standard UK sizing for men. If you prefer a bit of extra room for thicker socks, consider how your current Adidas trainers fit as these generally align with the brand's standard sizing.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No. Machine washing can compromise the structural integrity of the metallic overlays and the TPU reinforcements. Hand cleaning is recommended.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is constructed from high-quality, breathable nylon mesh with added metallic overlays for both style and support.

Are these shoes stable for gym workouts?

The TPU reinforcements provide decent lateral stability, making them appropriate for general gym use, though they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on the TPU reinforcements

Use shoe trees when not in use to help the shoe maintain its structural shape.

Dirt stuck in the layered mesh

Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to carefully dislodge debris from the mesh pores.

Loss of cushioning feel

Replace the original insoles with high-quality athletic inserts if the current cushioning has compressed after extensive use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality TPU support for increased stability
  • Breathable nylon material keeps feet cool
  • Classic mid-2000s aesthetic that remains fashionable

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Adistar Control 5 trainers, proper care is essential. Since the upper consists of layered mesh and metallic overlays, avoid machine washing, which can damage the structural adhesives. Instead, clean the exterior using a soft-bristled brush and mild soapy water to gently remove dirt from the mesh panels. Ensure you allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which could warp the EVA midsole or damage the TPU components. For optimal comfort, ensure you have selected your correct UK size, as the structure is designed for a secure, fitted hold.
