These shoes feature a breathable mesh construction and responsive cushioning that makes them well-suited for city streets and light exercise, though the retro design may lack the advanced stability features found in modern high-performance long-distance racing shoes.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Adistar Control 5 features a standard fit; users with significantly wide feet may find the mesh upper accommodating due to its flexible nature.

Can I replace the insole with custom orthotics?

Yes, the internal lining is designed to accommodate standard removable insoles, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotic supports.

Are these running or lifestyle shoes?

While they were originally designed as running shoes, they are now widely categorized as lifestyle trainers that offer enough support for light athletic activity.

What is the primary difference between Adiprene and Adiprene+?

Adiprene is designed for impact absorption in the heel, while Adiprene+ is a more resilient material placed in the forefoot to assist with propulsion.

How do I ensure I have the right size?

The UK size 9 fits true to standard adult male sizing. We recommend leaving about a thumb's width of space at the front of the shoe.

Troubleshooting

Inner lining feels slightly loose after long wear

Adjust the lacing tension throughout the eyelets to ensure a secure lockdown around the midfoot.

Outsole collecting small debris

Use a dull plastic tool or pressurized air to dislodge stones or gravel from the rubber tread patterns.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Iconic 2000s retro styling
  • Excellent breathability from the mesh upper
  • Lightweight feel suitable for daily wear
  • Reliable traction on asphalt and pavement

Cons

  • Design reflects older technology standards
  • Not intended for high-intensity technical trail running
  • Limited colorway options compared to modern models

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these are standard lace-up trainers, no specialized setup is required. To maintain the life of your Adistar Control 5, wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth after particularly muddy outings. For the mesh upper, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry dirt. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can compromise the adhesive bonds of the midsole and the shape of the upper. Ensure you allow the shoes to air dry away from direct sunlight to prevent material fading.
