FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for actual running?

The Adistar Control 5 Shoes are designed primarily for lifestyle wear. While they draw inspiration from running silhouettes, they are optimized for comfort and style during everyday activities, not high-performance running.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the product's size guide for accurate measurements. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the provided chart. This model is available in UK adult sizing.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is primarily constructed from an open-mesh textile, which provides breathability, complemented by metallic overlays for aesthetic detail.

How do I clean the metallic overlays?

Gently wipe the metallic overlays with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or materials that could scratch the finish.

What is the purpose of the rubber outsole?

The rubber outsole is designed to provide reliable grip and traction on a variety of surfaces, ensuring stability during everyday wear and urban exploration.

Can these shoes be worn by men and women?

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure laces are loosened before putting on and then adjusted for a snug, not overly tight, fit. Consider wearing with appropriate socks. If discomfort persists after a break-in period, verify the correct size has been selected.

Tread seems to have lost grip

Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly to remove any embedded dirt or debris that might be affecting traction. Ensure the surface you are walking on is not excessively wet or slippery.

Mesh upper shows signs of wear or discoloration

Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing. For discoloration, check if it's a natural effect of the material or external staining.
