FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?

No, while they are inspired by running designs from the 2000s, they are intended for lifestyle and casual wear rather than modern long-distance athletic performance.

Can I wash these in a washing machine?

It is not recommended. Machine washing can damage the synthetic materials and the Adiprene+ cushioning components. Use a soft brush and cloth for cleaning.

Do these shoes fit true to size?

Yes, they generally fit true to standard UK sizing for adult footwear.

What materials are used in the construction?

The upper is constructed from breathable open mesh with leather and synthetic overlays, while the sole utilizes EVA foam and rubber.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the provided insoles are generally removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if preferred.

Troubleshooting

Visible creasing on the upper material

This is common with synthetic and mesh materials; use a shoe tree when not wearing to help maintain the original shape.

Outsole losing traction

Check for debris embedded in the tread and wipe the rubber surface with a damp cloth to restore grip.

Midsole feeling less cushioned over time

EVA foam undergoes natural compression. If support is lost, consider adding a supportive aftermarket orthotic insole.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Authentic Y2K running aesthetic
  • Breathable mesh upper materials
  • Lightweight EVA midsole cushioning
  • Reliable rubber outsole traction

Cons

  • Not intended for high-intensity athletic training
  • Vintage styling may not suit all modern wardrobes
  • Limited arch support compared to contemporary technical trainers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Adistar Control 5 trainers, proper maintenance is essential.

  • Fit: The shoes are designed to a standard UK sizing scale; use thin or medium-thickness socks for the most accurate fit.
  • Cleaning: Spot clean the mesh and synthetic overlays using a soft-bristled brush and mild soapy water. Avoid submerging the leather or mesh components in water for extended periods.
  • Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as high heat can degrade the midsole EVA foam and cause the synthetic adhesives to lose bond strength.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the metallic accents and mesh fibers.
