FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard adult UK sizing for trainers.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and adhesive integrity. Always clean by hand.
Are these suitable for sports?
While supportive for walking, they are designed as lifestyle trainers, not for high-intensity gym use or running.
How should I break in the leather?
Wear them for short periods around the house before taking them on long outdoor trips to allow the leather to soften to your foot shape.
What should I do if the silver branding starts to fade?
Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners near the branding areas; stick to mild soap and water for those sections.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure you are using a double knot or consider replacing the laces with a slightly textured version if the originals feel too slippery.
Difficulty cleaning white leather
Use a white vinegar and water solution or a dedicated leather sneaker foam, avoiding abrasive scrubbing brushes that can scratch the surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Adistar Control 5 trainers last as long as possible, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Adjust the laces while sitting to ensure the heel is locked securely against the padded collar.
- Cleaning: For leather versions, wipe down with a soft, damp cloth after use. Use a specialized leather cleaner for stubborn marks rather than submerging the shoes in water.
- Protection: Apply a leather-safe water and stain repellent spray before first use to keep the white finish cleaner for longer.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or the silver accents from fading.
