FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
The Adistar Control 3 is designed for light training and everyday city wear. While they provide good cushioning, they are not optimized for high-intensity long-distance performance running.
How do I maintain the metallic silver details?
Wipe the metallic areas gently with a clean, soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or stiff brushes that could scratch or dull the metallic finish.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as the heat and agitation can damage the structural overlays and the integrity of the Formotion cushioning.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed from high-quality polyester, designed to provide both durability and breathability.
Are these shoes unisex?
While listed with specific gender attributes, the design and style are versatile. Ensure you check the UK size conversion to find the correct fit for your feet.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt accumulation on the polyester upper
Use a dry soft brush to gently lift debris, then follow with a slightly damp cloth to wipe the surface.
Shoe feels too tight during the day
Check the lacing tension; the supportive overlays are designed for stability and may require a looser lacing pattern to accommodate natural foot swelling throughout the day.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Adidas Adistar Control 3 trainers maintain their appearance and structural integrity, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: These trainers are available in specific adult UK sizing. Ensure you verify your exact fit, as the supportive overlays provide a snugger, more secure lockdown compared to standard casual shoes.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry surface dirt from the polyester upper and synthetic overlays. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with a mild, neutral soap solution. Avoid soaking the shoes in water.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Never place them in a tumble dryer or use a heater, as intense direct heat can compromise the cushioning foam and adhesive bonds.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the metallic silver accents from fading or material degradation.
