FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

It is recommended to hand clean with a damp cloth. Machine washing may damage the structural integrity and the adhesive components.

What material are the shoes made of?

The upper is constructed primarily from durable polyester, complemented by an EVA midsole and rubber outsole.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

These are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual use and do not provide the technical support required for long-distance running.

Do the straps wear out?

Like any adhesive closure, the effectiveness can decrease with heavy use over time, but keeping the velcro clean significantly extends their lifespan.

How do I determine my size?

The sizes listed are in UK adult sizing; refer to a standard conversion chart if you usually purchase in US or EU measurements.

Troubleshooting

Straps not sticking firmly

Remove lint, dust, or hair from the adhesive strips using a pair of tweezers or a soft brush to restore grip.

Midsole feeling less cushioned

EVA foam can compress over time. If comfort is reduced, consider using a supportive aftermarket insole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Adistar Control 5 sneakers:

  1. Fit Check: Ensure the adhesive straps are pressed firmly to align with the velcro surface; avoid leaving the fabric exposed to prevent debris buildup.
  2. Cleaning: Wipe the exterior polyester and rubber surfaces with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush.
  3. Drying: Always air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can warp the material.
  4. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the cushioning material.
