FAQs
Is the Adistar Control 5 suitable for running?
While it features performance-inspired technology, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual walking sneaker, not for intense athletic training.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity and the adhesive components of the shoe. We recommend hand cleaning with a damp cloth.
Does the shoe provide good arch support?
The adiPRENE+ midsole provides balanced cushioning that offers moderate arch support suitable for everyday use.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The shoe features a lightweight, breathable textile upper designed for flexibility and ventilation.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, this model is designed for a unisex fit, making it versatile for any user.
How do I maintain the metallic details?
Gently wipe the metallic accents with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to maintain their luster without scratching the surface.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort after long wear
Re-adjust the lacing tension; ensuring the laces are not too tight can prevent pressure points on the top of the foot.
Accumulation of dust on the textile
Use a specialized fabric cleaner or a dry, soft brush to lightly flick away trapped particles from the mesh fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Adistar Control 5 trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: Use the traditional lacing system to adjust tension according to your foot width for a personalized fit.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth with mild soap to gently remove surface dust and dirt from the textile upper. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the foam integrity.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and material stiffening.
- Air Drying: If they get damp, always allow the shoes to air dry naturally, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers to protect the adhesive materials.
