FAQs

What is the primary inspiration for the Adistar Control 5 MJ design?

The design takes strong influence from a 20th-century classic, specifically mimicking the renascent Mary Jane shoe with clear Y2K era aesthetics.

What technology is used for cushioning in these trainers?

These trainers feature Adiprene cushioning, which is designed to provide enhanced comfort and shock absorption.

How does the 3D Torsion system benefit the wearer?

The 3D Torsion system offers midfoot support and stability, promoting a smoother transition from heel to toe during walking.

Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?

These trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and daily comfort. They are not recommended for intense athletic activities or performance sports.

How should I clean my Adistar Control 5 MJ trainers?

For cleaning, spot clean with a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing. Allow them to air dry naturally.

What is the purpose of the zig-zag strap?

The zig-zag strap is a distinctive design element that also serves to secure the foot, allowing for an adjustable and personalized fit.

What is the upper material of the trainers?

The upper features porous mesh for breathability, complemented by synthetic overlays for structure and support.

What outsole material is used?

The trainers are equipped with rubber outsoles to provide reliable grip and durability.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Adjust the zig-zag strap for a more personalized fit. If discomfort persists, double-check the sizing and consider if a different size or width is needed.

Squeaking sound when walking.

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try wearing them for a few more days to break them in. If the sound persists, check for any loose parts or debris in the sole.

Mesh upper appears dirty.

Gently spot clean the affected area with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Wipe away any residue with a clean, damp cloth and allow to air dry.

Straps feel loose after some wear.

Ensure the hook-and-loop fastener on the zig-zag strap is securely fastened. If it no longer holds firmly, there might be an issue with the fastener's adhesion.
