FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?

No, while they are inspired by running designs from the 2000s, they are intended for lifestyle and casual use rather than technical running performance.

How do I clean the metallic silver details?

Gently wipe the metallic parts with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges, as these can strip the metallic finish.

Are the insoles removable?

The insoles are generally designed to stay in place, but they can be replaced with custom orthotics if necessary for extra arch support.

Is the material waterproof?

No, the open mesh construction is designed for breathability and will not keep your feet dry in heavy rain or deep puddles.

What is the primary benefit of Adiprene+?

Adiprene+ is a specialized cushioning material in the forefoot that provides a responsive feel and improved energy efficiency during your stride.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt on the mesh fabric

Use a soft brush to gently lift dirt particles, followed by a light tap; do not rub aggressively as it may push dirt deeper into the weave.

Minor scuffs on the midsole

Apply a small amount of non-abrasive household cleaner to a microfiber cloth and wipe the area in circular motions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Adistar Control 5 trainers maintain their look, keep the following guidelines in mind:

  1. Sizing: These shoes follow standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to try them on with your typical lifestyle socks to ensure a perfect fit for the size 4.5 frame.
  2. Cleaning: Avoid machine washing. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust from the mesh. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for the synthetic overlays and the midsole. Take extra care around the metallic silver accents to avoid scratching or fading.
  3. Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, as UV rays can affect the vibrancy of the red upper and the finish of the silver details over time.
  4. Compatibility: They are highly compatible with casual and smart-casual wardrobes, serving as a statement piece in a streetwear-focused outfit.
