FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for marathons?

No. While they carry heritage running DNA, they are currently intended for lifestyle and casual use, not as technical performance marathon footwear.

Do these fit true to size?

The Adistar Control 5 features a regular fit, meaning they generally correspond to standard sizing for most adult feet.

Can I use these for gym workouts?

They are suitable for light training and walking, though they lack the specialized lateral support found in dedicated weightlifting or high-intensity interval training shoes.

How do I maintain the metallic finish?

Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners on the metallic overlays, as these can strip the finish and dull the reflective appearance.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No. The open-mesh construction is designed for breathability, which allows water to penetrate the material easily.

Troubleshooting

Laces coming untied frequently

Ensure you are using a double knot or checking that the laces are threaded through all available eyelets to increase tension.

Mesh becoming discolored

Gently spot clean using a soft bristle brush and lukewarm water with a tiny drop of mild detergent, taking care not to scrub too hard against the mesh fibers.

Feeling too tight across the midfoot

Loosen the lacing system starting from the bottom eyelets upward to provide more volume in the midfoot area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Adistar Control 5 trainers last, follow these guidelines for maintenance and care. Because they feature synthetic and mesh materials, they should be cleaned gently; use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the mesh and a damp cloth with mild soap for the synthetic overlays. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the bonding agents in the metallic overlays. For the best compatibility, wear them with moisture-wicking socks to maximize the effectiveness of the breathable mesh upper. If the shoes become wet, air dry them at room temperature away from direct sunlight or heaters to prevent deformation of the materials.
