FAQs

Are these shoes unisex?

Yes, the Adistar Control 5 is designed as a unisex model, though availability may vary by specific size and colourway.

Can I use these for marathon running?

While they are designed for race days, their suitability for marathons depends on your personal preference for low-profile cushioning versus high-stack support.

How do I determine my size?

Refer to the standard UK sizing guide provided in the product variations, keeping in mind that racing shoes are generally intended to have a snug performance fit.

Are these machine washable?

It is recommended to clean these trainers by hand using a damp cloth and mild soap to maintain the integrity of the cushioning and materials.

What surfaces are these best for?

These trainers perform best on hard, flat surfaces such as running tracks, concrete, or paved road surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Feeling instability during sharp turns

Ensure the laces are tied with a runner's knot to improve lockdown and prevent heel slippage.

Outsole losing traction

Use a soft-bristled brush to remove any stones or caked-on dirt trapped within the textured grip pattern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Adistar Control 5 trainers last through your training season, follow these care steps:

  1. Fit Check: Ensure the laces are adjusted to provide a snug fit without restricting circulation.
  2. Cleaning: Wipe away surface dirt with a soft, damp cloth after each use to prevent debris from building up in the textured outsole.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can degrade the midsole cushioning over time.
  4. Maintenance: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally. Avoid using heat sources like hair dryers, as this can warp the materials.
