FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
The Adistar Control 5 Trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear. While comfortable for walking, they do not offer the specialized cushioning and support required for marathon running.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
Refer to the Adidas sizing chart, which usually correlates UK sizes with European and US measurements. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the provided chart.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Hand washing with a damp cloth is the preferred method.
What does 'metallic overlays' refer to?
Metallic overlays are design elements, often made of synthetic materials with a metallic finish, applied to the shoe's upper. They add visual detail and a retro-modern aesthetic to the design.
What is the main benefit of the open-mesh upper?
The open-mesh construction of the upper allows for better air circulation, which helps to keep your feet cool and comfortable, especially during warmer weather or extended wear.
How do I care for the rubber outsole?
Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can degrade the rubber over time.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing pattern. For a tighter fit, ensure laces are snug. For a looser feel, ease the tension across the top of the foot. Consult sizing charts if persistent issues occur.
Slight odor after wear
Remove insoles if possible and air them out separately. Use a shoe deodorizer spray or baking soda inside the shoes overnight. Ensure shoes are completely dry before wearing again.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole provides grip, but performance can be reduced on very wet or slippery surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the textile and mesh upper with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove dirt. A damp cloth is usually sufficient. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the rubber.
- Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning. Hand wash with mild soap and water, then air dry completely before re-inserting.
