FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for serious long-distance running?

While originally designed with runners in mind and featuring excellent cushioning, the updated Adistar Cushion is best suited for casual wear, light activities, and urban exploration. For serious or long-distance running, you might find more specialized modern running shoes offer advanced performance features.

How do I clean the breathable mesh on the shoes?

For the breathable mesh, gently wipe with a soft cloth dampened with water and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid scrubbing too hard, as this can damage the material. Allow them to air dry completely.

What does Adiprene cushioning do for my feet?

Adiprene cushioning is adidas' technology designed to absorb impact and provide superior shock absorption in the heel and forefoot, giving you a 'spring' in your step and enhancing overall comfort throughout the day.

Are these shoes true to size?

adidas typically designs its footwear to fit true to size. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit, or consulting the official adidas size chart if purchasing online. This specific model is a UK 9.

What does it mean that the shoes use 'recycled materials'?

The use of recycled materials signifies adidas' commitment to sustainability and efforts to help end plastic waste. These materials are incorporated into the shoe's construction, offering an environmentally conscious choice without compromising quality or design.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

The breathable mesh upper offers good ventilation but is not designed to be waterproof. While the grippy rubber outsole provides traction, for heavy rain or extremely wet conditions, we recommend shoes with specific water-resistant or waterproof features.

Troubleshooting

My shoes feel uncomfortable or rub in certain areas.

Ensure you have the correct size and are wearing appropriate socks. These shoes may require a short break-in period. If discomfort persists, check for any stitching or material irregularities and consider trying a different lacing technique.

The shoes are making a squeaking sound when I walk.

A squeaking sound can sometimes be caused by air trapped between parts of the sole or by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole and sprinkling a small amount of baby powder inside the shoe before replacing it. Also, check for any foreign objects trapped in the outsole treads.

The white areas of the shoes are getting dirty quickly.

White shoes naturally show dirt more easily. For light dirt, wipe with a damp cloth. For tougher stains on the mesh, a gentle shoe cleaner designed for athletic footwear can be used. For leather sections, a leather cleaner may be appropriate. Regular cleaning after each use helps maintain their appearance.

The shoes don't feel as supportive as I expected for light activities.

While the Adiprene cushioning offers excellent comfort, if you require additional arch support, you might consider using an aftermarket orthotic insole. Ensure your foot is properly aligned within the shoe when lacing up.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Their classic, retro aesthetic makes them a versatile addition to wardrobes featuring jeans, shorts, track pants, or even more fashion-forward casual outfits.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Adistar Cushion shoes, which feature breathable mesh and leather elements:

  1. Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For stains, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Carefully wipe down the mesh and leather areas. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdry, as this can damage materials.
  3. Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent fading and material degradation.
  4. Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing can damage the shoe's structure, cushioning, and materials.
