FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Adistar Control 5 generally fits true to standard UK sizing for the stated 10.5 measurement.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives used in the sole construction. Hand cleaning is strongly recommended.
Are these suitable for running?
These are classified as casual lifestyle trainers and do not provide the stability or technical support required for long-distance running.
How do I clean the white leather?
Use a damp, soft cloth with a mild soap solution. Wipe gently, then buff dry with a clean microfiber towel.
Is the sole non-marking?
Yes, the rubber compound used on the Adistar series is typically designed to be non-marking for indoor and outdoor versatility.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the toe box
Use a cedar shoe tree when the sneakers are not in use to help maintain the leather structure and minimize deep creases.
Scuff marks on white leather
Gently rub the affected area with a white eraser or a specialized leather cleaner applied to a soft cloth.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure you are using a double knot or a reef knot if the factory-laced style is too slick.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Adistar Control 5 trainers maintain their shape and look, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Initial Setup: Ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tension upon first wear to allow the leather to break in naturally to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemical detergents.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or fading of the white and red finish.
- Conditioning: Use a leather-safe cream periodically to keep the material supple and prevent deep creases.
