Troubleshooting

Mesh upper accumulating dust or debris

Use a soft brush or a vacuum hose attachment to gently lift particles out of the mesh weave.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Adistar Control 5 trainers stay in top condition:

  1. Fitting: These trainers feature a regular fit. It is recommended to stick with your standard UK shoe size for the best balance of comfort and support.
  2. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt from the open-mesh upper. For the synthetic and metallic overlays, a damp cloth with mild soap is sufficient to wipe away grime. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemicals.
  3. Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the metallic detailing and mesh from degrading over time.
  4. Maintenance: If the laces become worn, they can be easily replaced with any standard-length athletic lace to refresh the look of the shoe.
