FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the adidas Adistar Control 5 generally follows standard UK sizing conventions for adult footwear.

Can I use these for running?

While they feature classic running technology, they are best suited for light running, jogging, or casual use rather than competitive long-distance marathon training.

Is the material waterproof?

No, the open mesh upper is designed for breathability and will not repel water.

How do I clean the white parts of the sole?

Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a mild soap solution with an old toothbrush for targeted scrubbing.

Are these suitable for men and women?

Yes, these are unisex trainers, though you should verify your specific UK size to ensure the correct fit.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from an open mesh fabric to maximize ventilation.

Troubleshooting

Mesh upper accumulating dust or debris

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt after each use.

Sole grip feels slippery

Wipe the rubber outsole with a slightly damp cloth to remove any built-up residue or grime.

Odour buildup

Remove the insoles and allow the shoes to air out in a well-ventilated area for 24 hours.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High breathability thanks to the open mesh construction
  • Distinctive retro design that pairs well with casual outfits
  • Comfortable cushioning suitable for everyday activities
  • Reliable traction provided by the rubber outsole

Cons

  • Design may be too bold for those who prefer subtle colors
  • Not intended for high-intensity competitive distance racing
  • Limited to specific retro-inspired performance standards

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Adistar Control 5 trainers maintain their shape and comfort, avoid machine washing or drying, which can damage the delicate mesh upper. Instead, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap if they get dusty. For best results, rotate your footwear to allow the EVA cushioning to decompress overnight. These trainers are standard fit, so check your UK size carefully before purchase. If the shoes get wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the adhesive from warping.
