FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The Adistar Control 5 generally fits true to standard UK sizing for adults.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth is the safest way to maintain the structural integrity of the trainers.

Is this a running shoe?

They are designed as lifestyle trainers with athletic features. While they are great for walking and light movement, they are not specialized performance running shoes.

What does adiPRENE+ do?

adiPRENE+ is a resilient cushioning material used to provide dynamic energy return and impact absorption, helping to reduce fatigue.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The traditional lacing system allows for a flexible fit, but they are built on a standard width profile.

Troubleshooting

Feeling discomfort after long periods of wear

Adjust the lacing tension; it may be too tight across the instep. Consider using a different lacing pattern to relieve pressure.

Outsole losing traction

Check the rubber grooves for stuck debris or stones. Clean the outsole with a soft brush to restore surface contact.

Odour accumulation

Remove the insoles to air dry and use a fabric-safe sneaker deodorizer spray when the shoes are not in use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Adistar Control 5 trainers, we recommend a simple maintenance routine.

  1. Fitting: Utilize the lacing system to ensure the tension is even across the top of the foot to prevent pressure points.
  2. Cleaning: Wipe the upper with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the rubber and materials from degrading over time.
  4. Drying: If they become damp, air dry naturally. Avoid using heaters or tumble dryers, as high heat can warp the midsole cushioning materials.
