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.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Stylish retro design appealing to fashion-conscious individuals.
  • Comfortable for extended casual wear due to breathable materials.
  • Good traction on common urban surfaces thanks to the rubber outsole.
  • Secure fit enhances stability and confidence during movement.

Cons

  • Open-mesh upper may be susceptible to dirt and require frequent cleaning.
  • Primarily designed for lifestyle, not high-performance athletic activities.
  • Leather material may show wear over time without proper care.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no specific setup beyond lacing them up for a secure fit. Ensure the laces are tied appropriately to prevent discomfort or slippage.

Compatibility: The Adistar Control 5 Trainers are designed for unisex adult wear and are compatible with standard adult shoe sizes. They pair well with a variety of casual outfits.

Care:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently clean the textile and mesh areas. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
  • Cleaning Overlays: Wipe metallic overlays with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
  • Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole with water and a brush to remove mud or debris. Ensure it is dry before storing.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag to protect from dust and moisture.
