FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The Adistar Control 5 are primarily designed for lifestyle wear. While they offer comfort and a secure fit for walking, they do not provide the specialized support or cushioning required for intense running or athletic training.

How do I determine my UK size?

Refer to Adidas's official size chart, which typically correlates UK sizes with foot length in centimeters or inches. Ensure you measure your foot accurately before consulting the chart.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, particularly the textile upper and metallic overlays. Hand wash using a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.

What is the main advantage of the textile upper?

The open-mesh textile upper is designed to provide excellent breathability, helping to keep your feet cool and comfortable, especially during warmer weather or extended wear.

Do these trainers come in other colors?

Yes, the Adistar Control series often features various colorways. While this specific model is White/Black, other metallic silver options are available within the Adistar Control 5 range.

How durable is the rubber outsole?

The rubber outsole is designed for durability and reliable grip on urban surfaces, making it suitable for everyday wear and tear associated with city walking.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces, especially around the midfoot, and re-tie. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If the issue persists, consider if the size is correct for your foot width.

Slight discoloration on metallic overlays

Gently wipe with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals which can damage the finish.

Reduced grip on outsole

Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly with water and a brush to remove accumulated dirt or debris that may be affecting traction.

Breathability seems limited

Ensure the mesh upper is not obstructed by dirt or debris. If wearing thick socks, consider thinner ones for better airflow.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no assembly. Simply unbox, lace them up to your desired tightness, and wear.

Compatibility: Suitable for general adult use. They are compatible with a wide range of casual attire. Not recommended for specific sports requiring specialized footwear.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently clean the textile and mesh parts. For stubborn stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly. Avoid machine washing.
  2. Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning if necessary. Hand wash with mild detergent.
  3. Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole with water and a brush to remove dirt and debris. Ensure it is dry before storing.
  4. Drying: Always air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
