FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Adistar Control 5 are designed primarily for lifestyle wear, focusing on comfort and style for everyday activities. While inspired by running shoe aesthetics, they are not intended for high-performance athletic running.
What is the best way to clean the mesh upper?
Gently use a soft brush or damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth and let them air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is primarily made of textile, featuring an open-mesh design for breathability, complemented by metallic overlays.
Do these trainers offer good support for walking all day?
These trainers are designed for comfort during extended casual wear and daily activities, providing a stable base with their rubber outsole and secure fit.
How do I ensure a proper fit?
Use the lace closure to adjust the fit. Ensure they are snug but not constricting. Refer to sizing charts if unsure, as fit can vary slightly.
Can I wear these in wet conditions?
The rubber outsole offers good grip, but the textile and mesh upper is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
What is the primary benefit of the metallic overlays?
The metallic overlays add a distinctive visual flair and a touch of retro-futuristic style to the trainers, enhancing their aesthetic appeal.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing system. For tightness, loosen the laces. For looseness, tighten them evenly across the shoe. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks.
Discoloration on metallic overlays
Gently wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that can strip the metallic finish.
Mesh upper appears dirty
Use a soft brush and a small amount of water or mild soap solution to gently clean the mesh. Rinse with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.
Reduced grip on the outsole
Clean the rubber outsole with water and a brush to remove any embedded dirt or debris that might be affecting traction.
