FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The Adistar Control 5 are designed primarily for lifestyle wear and comfort. While inspired by running shoes and offering good support for walking, they are not intended for high-performance athletic running.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to Adidas's official sizing chart. Typically, a UK size 10 in these trainers corresponds to a specific foot length in centimeters or inches. It's recommended to measure your foot length for the most accurate fit.

Can these trainers be machine washed?

No, it is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method to preserve the materials and structure.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is primarily made of a textile material, featuring an open mesh for breathability, combined with metallic synthetic overlays for structure and style.

Are these trainers available in other colors?

The Adistar Control 5 series may be available in other colorways. This guide focuses on the White/Silver variant. Please check product listings for current color options.

What does 'regular fit' mean?

'Regular fit' indicates a standard width and volume for the shoe, designed to accommodate most adult foot shapes comfortably without being overly narrow or wide.

How durable is the rubber outsole?

The rubber outsole is designed for durability and reliable traction for everyday use. With proper care, it should provide long-lasting grip and wear resistance on urban surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and adjust them to provide more room. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the issue persists, consider if the size is correct.

Slight squeaking sound

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try wearing them for a few more days. If it continues, check for any debris trapped in the outsole grooves or apply a small amount of talcum powder under the insole.

Reduced grip on surfaces

Check the rubber outsole for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth and brush to remove any dirt or grit that may be affecting traction.

Discoloration on metallic overlays

Gently clean the overlays with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish. If discoloration is due to scuffing, it may be permanent.
