FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While based on a runner silhouette, these are lifestyle trainers intended for casual wear and daily use, not for high-intensity athletic training.
Are these trainers unisex?
Yes, the Adistar Control 5 Haunter is designed as a unisex product.
How do I determine my size?
These trainers use standard UK sizing. We recommend checking the size guide or comparing them to your current pair of Adidas sneakers for the most accurate fit.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to wash these in a machine, as the heat and agitation can damage the Pokémon graphic and the structural integrity of the trainers. Spot cleaning is the safest method.
Do they provide good arch support?
They offer standard comfort for casual walking. If you require specialized orthotic support, you may wish to swap the factory insole for a custom one.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty keeping the shoes clean
Apply a standard water and stain repellent spray suitable for polyester textiles before first use.
Laces coming untied frequently
Use a double knot or ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets for an even distribution of tension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Adidas Adistar Control 5 Haunter trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: These trainers are available in various sizes; ensure you verify your UK sizing before purchase, as the retro fit may vary slightly from modern performance running shoes.
- Cleaning: Since the upper is made of polyester, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt. For deeper stains, wipe gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemicals, as this may damage the graphic print.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the purple fabric from fading.
- Lacing: To maintain the integrity of the lacing eyelets, do not pull excessively hard when tightening; the traditional lacing system is designed for a secure, comfortable hold without extreme force.
