FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While based on a running silhouette, the Adistar Control 5 is best suited for daily wear and light activity rather than intensive long-distance running.
Does the Rayquaza design affect the shoe's durability?
No, the design elements are integrated into the shoe's aesthetic and do not compromise the structural integrity of the trainers.
How should I clean the textile upper?
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface debris. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals.
Is the sizing standard?
The Adistar Control 5 generally fits true to size for most adults, but we recommend checking your standard UK sizing before purchasing.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are generally removable, allowing you to swap them for custom orthotics if required for additional arch support.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the upper material
Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to maintain their shape and minimize natural folding lines.
Slight discomfort during initial break-in
Wear the shoes for short periods inside the home to allow the materials to conform to your foot anatomy.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Adistar Control 5 requires no special setup; simply loosen the laces to accommodate your foot width before the initial wear to ensure a proper lockdown. For compatibility, these trainers fit standard adult sizing and work well with casual socks or thin athletic liners. To maintain the integrity of the textile upper and the midsole cushioning: 1. Keep them away from extreme heat sources such as radiators to prevent adhesive breakdown. 2. Use a soft brush to remove surface dust and dirt after use. 3. Spot clean with mild soap and water rather than machine washing, which can damage the retro-construction materials. 4. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally in a cool, ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
