FAQs

Is the Adistar Control 5 a stability shoe?

Yes, it is designed with a torsion bar and a high overlay count specifically to provide stability and arch support.

Can I remove the insoles?

Yes, the internal liners are removable, which makes the shoe compatible with custom orthotics.

Are these shoes suitable for wet weather?

The mesh panels are breathable rather than waterproof, so they are best suited for dry conditions.

How do I ensure I have the right size?

This model is sized in UK standard sizing; ensure there is approximately a thumb-width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.

How should I store these trainers?

Store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the metallic finishes and materials from fading or cracking.

Troubleshooting

Feeling of excess pressure on the top of the foot

Try 'window lacing' the shoes to reduce pressure on the sensitive areas of the instep while maintaining a secure heel lock.

Outsole losing traction

Clean the debris from the tread grooves using a soft brush to restore grip on smooth surfaces.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent midfoot stability for overpronators
  • Durable construction suitable for long-term wear
  • Iconic 2008 design aesthetic
  • Enhanced visibility via reflective elements

Cons

  • Firmer ride than modern maximalist shoes
  • Higher overlay count can feel restrictive for wide feet
  • Heavier build compared to contemporary racing trainers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Adistar Control 5 trainers, avoid machine washing, which can compromise the structural integrity of the overlays. Clean the exterior by gently wiping the mesh panels with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent the adhesives from weakening. For optimal fit, ensure the laces are threaded through the eyelets correctly to take advantage of the shoe's midfoot lock-down system. If you use custom orthotics, the standard insole is removable, allowing you to insert your preferred supportive base.
