Product Information
Full details
The adidas Performance Adistar 5 trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking a blend of responsive cushioning and reliable traction. These trainers excel at providing long-term comfort during daily training sessions thanks to the proprietary midsole technology, though users should note that the low-profile design is primarily optimized for road and paved surface running rather than technical trail terrain.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for a wide foot?
The Adistar 5 features a standard fit. While the lacing system is adjustable, individuals with significantly wider feet may want to try them on for fit or consider a half-size adjustment.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
Yes, their low-profile design and responsive midsole make them stable enough for cross-training, weightlifting, and cardio classes.
How long should the cushioning last?
Typically, the midsole cushioning remains effective for 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight.
Are they machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and foam technology. Stick to hand cleaning with a damp cloth.
Is the outsole durable enough for concrete?
The structured tread pattern is specifically engineered to withstand the abrasion of concrete and asphalt for a long service life.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Adjust the laces to use the top eyelet (the runner's loop) to create a more secure heel lock.
Stiffness when new
The EVA-based cushioning often requires a 'break-in' period of 15-20 miles to allow the midsole materials to flex naturally with your gait.
Dirt buildup in the tread
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dried mud or debris from the outsole channels to maintain maximum grip.
Pros and Cons

- Low-profile design may feel different for those used to high-stack heights
Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you select your standard UK sizing as the Adistar 5 conforms to traditional athletic proportions. When preparing for your first run, tighten the laces to your comfort level, ensuring the padded tongue is centered. To maintain these trainers, avoid submerging them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the structural integrity of the midsole foam. Instead, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. If the interior gets wet, remove the insoles and air dry them away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials.
