FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The Adistar Control 5 generally fits true to your standard UK size; ensure you consult the size guide before purchasing.

Can I use these for marathon running?

No, these are categorized as lifestyle trainers and lack the technical features required for long-distance competitive running.

How do I clean the leather?

Use a soft, damp cloth and leather-appropriate cleaning products. Avoid harsh chemicals that can dry out the leather.

Is the sole non-marking?

Yes, the rubber outsole is designed for standard urban use and is generally non-marking on most indoor surfaces.

Are the insoles removable?

The insoles are designed to be stable, but if they are removable, they can be swapped for custom orthotics if required.

Do these shoes require a break-in period?

While generally comfortable out of the box, the leather upper may take a few wears to soften and mold perfectly to your foot shape.

Troubleshooting

Laces coming undone frequently

Ensure you are using a double knot or a reef knot if the laces are sliding, and replace the factory laces if they show significant wear.

Creasing in the leather toe box

This is a natural occurrence with genuine leather; use a shoe tree when not wearing them to help retain the shoe's shape.

Slippery sole traction

Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris that may accumulate and reduce friction on indoor flooring.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable leather upper material
  • Excellent underfoot cushioning for walking
  • Classic running-inspired design
  • Secure lace closure for adjustable fit
  • Versatile for various casual urban environments

Cons

  • Not intended for high-intensity competitive running
  • Leather requires specific care to prevent staining
  • Limited ventilation compared to mesh trainers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Adistar Control 5 trainers maintain their condition, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the leather upper after use. For deeper cleaning, apply a leather-specific conditioner or a mild soap solution with a damp cloth, followed by air drying in a cool area away from direct heat sources. To maintain the structural integrity of the padded collar, always untie the laces fully before removing the shoes. Avoid machine washing or submerging the trainers, as this can degrade the leather and adhesive components.
