FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The Adistar Control 5 trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear. While they offer comfort and a secure fit, they are not engineered with the advanced features required for intense athletic running.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Refer to the size chart for adidas Originals trainers. Ensure your heel is snug and there's adequate space in the toe box. Trying them on if possible is recommended, or ensure the fit is comfortable for walking.

What are the primary materials used?

The upper is made of textile, featuring metallic overlays. The sockliner is also textile, and the outsole is made of rubber.

How should I clean the metallic overlays?

Wipe the metallic overlays gently with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or brushes that could scratch the finish.

Can these shoes be worn in wet conditions?

While the rubber outsole provides grip, the textile upper is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry to moderately damp conditions.

What is the fit like?

These trainers have a regular fit, secured by laces for an adjustable fit.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Adjust the lacing system. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is correct for your foot. Ensure laces are tied evenly.

Traction feels insufficient

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from dirt or debris, as this can impact grip. The outsole is designed for general urban surfaces.

Discoloration or marks on the upper

Follow the care instructions for cleaning the textile upper with a damp cloth and mild soap solution. Test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first.
