FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
These trainers are designed for light training and casual use. They are not intended for high-mileage or long-distance competitive running.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Use a damp, soft cloth to wipe down the surface. For tougher stains, use a mild leather-safe soap.
Is the sizing true to fit?
The Adistar Control 5 fits according to standard UK adult sizing. If you prefer extra room for thicker socks, consider half a size up.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can damage the leather, degrade the adhesives, and ruin the shoe's structure.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
The leather provides some protection against light moisture, but they are not waterproof.
What is the primary material used?
The trainers feature a high-quality leather upper with structured synthetic overlays for added durability.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull or loses its luster
Apply a leather conditioner specifically formulated for athletic footwear to restore moisture and shine.
Creasing appearing on the toe box
This is normal for leather footwear; use shoe trees when not wearing to help the material retain its shape.
Insoles feeling less supportive over time
Remove the insoles and replace them with high-quality aftermarket arch support inserts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are leather-based trainers, proper care is essential to maintain the grey and silver colourway.
- Cleaning: Wipe away loose dirt with a soft, dry cloth after every use. Use a specialist leather cleaner for deeper stains, avoiding harsh chemical solvents.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the silver accents and dry out the leather over time.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit standard adult sizing. For the best comfort, pair them with moisture-wicking athletic socks that match the arch support of the anatomical sole.
- Weather: While durable, leather is not fully waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain to prevent water damage to the upper material.
