FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

They are ideal for light jogging and casual urban activity, but may not provide the stability required for high-intensity or long-distance competitive running.

Are they waterproof?

No, the open-mesh upper is designed for breathability and will allow water to pass through if you step in puddles.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the internal sockliner can typically be removed if you need to insert your own orthotics for better support.

Is this a unisex model?

Yes, the Adistar Control 5 is designed as a unisex trainer suitable for both men and women.

How should I store them?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the colours from fading and to maintain material elasticity.

Troubleshooting

Laces coming undone frequently

Use a double knot or ensure the laces are threaded tightly through the eyelets before tying.

Build-up of dirt in mesh fabric

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry debris from the mesh pores.

Feeling of slipping inside the shoe

Ensure the shoe is the correct size and tighten the laces evenly starting from the bottom eyelets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Adistar Control 5 trainers, use the traditional lacing system to achieve a secure lockdown that prevents heel slippage without cutting off circulation. These trainers are designed for casual use on paved surfaces and are generally true to size for most adult users. For care, avoid machine washing; instead, spot clean with a soft cloth, mild soap, and cold water. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the EVA midsole or damage the synthetic upper materials. If they become wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
