FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they feature EVA cushioning for impact absorption, these are designed as lifestyle trainers rather than high-performance running shoes.
How do I determine my size?
These trainers follow standard UK sizing; we recommend selecting your usual shoe size for the most comfortable fit.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather upper and the internal structure. Please clean them manually.
What is the primary material used in the upper?
The upper is crafted from leather, which offers a durable and structured fit.
Does this shoe provide arch support?
The padded collar and EVA midsole offer general support, though users with specific orthotic needs may choose to swap the insole.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel slightly stiff during the first wear
This is common with leather footwear. Wear them for short durations indoors initially to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot shape.
Dirt buildup on the textured outsole
Use a soft-bristled brush, such as an old toothbrush, to gently dislodge trapped debris from the tread pattern.
Laces coming undone
Ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets properly to distribute tension and consider a double knot if the laces are new and stiff.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Adistar Control 5 trainers maintain their shape and comfort, it is recommended to loosen the laces fully before sliding your feet in or out to prevent heel damage. For maintenance, clean the leather upper with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt and debris. Avoid soaking the shoes in water or putting them through a laundry cycle, as this can degrade the leather and the integrity of the adhesive bond. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the leather from cracking or warping.
