FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The Adistar Control 5 are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear. While they offer comfort and grip, they are not engineered for high-performance athletic running.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Refer to the size chart provided by adidas Originals and measure your foot length. The product description specifies UK sizing. Ensure a snug but comfortable fit without excessive pressure points.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Hand cleaning is the preferred method.

What are the main materials used in these trainers?

The trainers feature a textile upper, primarily open-mesh, with a textile sockliner and a durable rubber outsole. Metallic overlays add decorative detail.

Do these trainers come in other colors?

The provided information is for the 'Ftw White/ Core Black/ Core Royal' colorway. Other color options may be available depending on the retailer and season.

What is the fit like - narrow or wide?

The trainers are described as having a 'Regular fit'. If you have particularly wide or narrow feet, it's advisable to try them on if possible or consult customer reviews for fit feedback.

Troubleshooting

Laces become untied frequently.

Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot if necessary. Consider replacing worn-out laces with new ones that offer better grip.

Slight discomfort during initial wear.

This is common with new footwear. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Adjust lace tension for a more personalized fit.

Mesh appears dirty.

Gently spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure the cloth is not overly wet to avoid soaking the interior.

Care Instructions:
