FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While based on a running silhouette, the Adistar Control 5 is categorized as a lifestyle trainer and is better suited for walking and daily casual use rather than intense distance running.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

The Adistar Control 5 follows a regular fit. It is recommended to choose your standard sneaker size for the best comfort.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as the heat and agitation can damage the leather components and adhesive bonds.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is constructed from a combination of open-mesh for ventilation and leather panels for structure and style.

Are these shoes water-resistant?

No, the open-mesh design makes them breathable but not waterproof; they are intended for dry or light conditions.

Troubleshooting

The leather upper is showing minor scuffs.

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner or a matching polish to buff out light scuffs and restore the surface.

The mesh feels like it is trapping dust or dirt.

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove loose debris from the mesh gaps after wearing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent breathability from the open-mesh upper
  • Lightweight design ideal for all-day city walking
  • Responsive cushioning with Adiprene+ technology
  • Classic aesthetic that pairs well with casual outfits

Cons

  • Not designed for intensive athletic or long-distance running
  • Leather elements require specific care compared to synthetic-only shoes
  • Limited to lifestyle use rather than technical sports performance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your trainers maintain their look and feel, follow these guidelines:

  • Fit: The shoes feature a regular fit. Use the lace closure to adjust the tension across the midfoot for optimal lockdown.
  • Cleaning: Wipe the leather and metallic overlays with a soft, damp cloth. Use a specialized leather cleaner if necessary to maintain the finish of the leather panels.
  • Drying: Always air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the material or compromise the glue bonding.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place and use a shoe tree to help maintain the original silhouette of the upper.
