FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While based on a running silhouette, they are currently designed as lifestyle trainers for casual use rather than technical running.

How do I clean the metallic overlays?

Clean the metallic sections with a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth to avoid scratching the finish.

Are they true to size?

The Adistar Control 5 features a regular fit, which is generally consistent with standard adidas sizing.

Can I replace the strap if it wears out?

The strap is integrated into the shoe design and cannot be replaced; ensure the hook-and-loop material is kept clean to maintain longevity.

What materials are used in the upper?

The upper is constructed primarily from a lightweight, breathable open-mesh material accented with metallic overlays.

Troubleshooting

Strap feels loose during walking

Ensure no fabric or debris is caught in the strap fastener, and pull the strap firmly to re-engage the secure closure.

Surface dirt trapped in mesh

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently agitate the mesh, then wipe with a lightly dampened cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The adidas Adistar Control 5 comes in a regular fit. To ensure comfort, test the strap tension to match your foot width; the strap should be secure enough to hold the heel in place without cutting off circulation. Keep the shoes in top condition by wiping the open-mesh upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging them in water, as this can degrade the metallic overlays and adhesive components. If the shoes get wet, air-dry them at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material warping.
