FAQs

What is the main inspiration behind the Adistar Control 5 MJ?

The design takes strong influence from classic 20th-century styles with clear Y2K aesthetics, featuring a deconstructed look reminiscent of early 2000s footwear.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While they offer cushioning and support, they are primarily designed for casual wear and light activities. They are not intended for high-impact running or professional athletic training.

How do I clean the porous mesh upper?

Gently use a soft brush or a damp cloth. For tougher stains, a very mild soap solution can be applied sparingly with a damp cloth, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth. Always allow to air dry.

What does the 'MJ' in Adistar Control 5 MJ stand for?

The 'MJ' likely refers to the Mary Jane style, referencing the shoe's inspiration from the classic Mary Jane silhouette, updated with modern tech and Y2K influences.

What is the benefit of the 3D Torsion system?

The 3D Torsion system provides excellent midfoot stability and support, allowing the shoe to adapt to your foot for a more secure and comfortable fit.

Can I wear these with socks?

Yes, you can wear them with or without socks depending on your preference and the weather. Thin or no-show socks are often a good match for this style.

What materials are used in the upper?

The upper is constructed with a combination of porous grey mesh and synthetic overlays for a deconstructed look and breathability.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Adjust the zig-zag strap for a more secure or relaxed fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size; consider trying a half-size up or down if the fit is significantly off.

Discoloration on the mesh upper

Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing which can damage the mesh.

Lack of support during extended wear

Ensure the 3D Torsion system is functioning correctly by checking for any visible damage. For additional support, consider using aftermarket insoles designed for cushioning and arch support.

Slipping due to worn outsole

If the outsole is significantly worn, reducing traction, it may be time to consider replacing the shoes. For minor wear, ensure the outsole is clean from debris.

Setup: These are ready-to-wear shoes. No specific setup is required beyond ensuring they fit comfortably.

Compatibility: The Adistar Control 5 MJ is designed for adult female wearers. They pair well with casual attire such as jeans, shorts, skirts, and dresses.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt from the mesh and synthetic overlays. For stubborn stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a clean damp cloth.
  2. Lining and Insoles: If removable, clean insoles separately according to their material. Otherwise, use a damp cloth to clean the interior.
  3. Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth and a mild detergent if necessary.
