FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?

No, while they are inspired by a running silhouette, the Adistar Control 5 is designed as a lifestyle trainer for casual use.

How should I clean the metallic overlays?

Wipe the metallic components gently with a damp, non-abrasive cloth to maintain their luster.

Is the fit true to size?

Yes, these trainers feature a regular fit that is generally consistent with standard adidas sizing.

Can I put these shoes in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as the heat and agitation can damage the structural integrity and materials.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from an open-mesh material, providing a lightweight and breathable feel.

Do the straps replace laces?

The Adistar Control 5 MJ utilizes a strap closure system designed to keep the foot secure and the profile streamlined.

Troubleshooting

Strap feels too tight or too loose

Adjust the strap closure tension while seated to find the balance between a secure fit and circulation comfort.

Visible dirt on the mesh upper

Use a soft brush to gently lift dirt particles out of the mesh weave rather than rubbing them in.

Outsole losing traction

Ensure the bottom of the sole is free from debris, mud, or small pebbles that can impede surface contact.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the mesh and metallic overlays. For deeper cleaning, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid soaking the materials.
  • Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent material warping or adhesive degradation.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry area to maintain the integrity of the synthetic materials.
