FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While based on performance running technology from the 2000s, these are classified as lifestyle trainers and are best suited for walking and casual wear.

Do the Adistar Control 5 shoes run true to size?

Generally, these follow standard adidas sizing. If you have particularly wide feet, you may want to consider a half-size up to account for the structural overlays.

How do I clean the metallic overlays?

Use a soft cloth with a mild soap solution. Gently wipe the metallic areas; avoid abrasive sponges that could scratch the finish.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

It is not recommended. Machine washing can damage the synthetic glue and cause the metallic overlays to peel.

What is the primary material used in the upper?

The upper is constructed primarily from a breathable open-mesh fabric reinforced with synthetic and metallic overlays for structure.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the open-mesh design is intended for breathability, meaning they are not water-resistant or waterproof.

Troubleshooting

Mesh upper accumulating dust or debris

Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove loose particles from the mesh weave before wiping with a damp cloth.

Laces becoming loose during the day

Ensure you are using a double-knot or a locking runner's knot to improve tension retention on the synthetic eyelets.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly breathable mesh keeps feet comfortable for long periods
  • Stylish retro-inspired design that pairs well with casual outfits
  • Stable construction provides a secure, reliable stride
  • Durable outsole offers excellent grip on urban terrain

Cons

  • Not intended for modern high-performance running or athletic training
  • Chunky silhouette may be too bulky for those preferring minimalist footwear
  • Metallic overlays require specific cleaning care to prevent scratching

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your trainers last, follow these care steps:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the open-mesh upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water to maintain the integrity of the metallic overlays.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can warp the synthetic materials and glue joints.
  3. Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup in the mesh.
  4. Compatibility: These trainers feature a standard lace-up design, allowing for easy adjustment to your preferred foot width. If you use custom orthotics, the factory insoles are typically removable for a better fit.
