FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for serious running?

While the Adistar Cushion has running heritage, this updated version is best suited for casual wear, walking, and light athletic activities. For serious or performance running, adidas offers more specialized running shoes.

How do I determine if UK 8.5 is the right size for me?

The adidas Adistar Cushion generally fits true to size. We recommend trying on the shoes or comparing your foot measurements to adidas' sizing chart. This specific variant is UK 8.5.

What is Adiprene cushioning?

Adiprene is an adidas proprietary cushioning technology that provides superior shock absorption, protecting your heels upon impact and offering a comfortable, responsive feel underfoot.

Are the recycled materials visible?

The recycled materials are integrated into the shoe's construction and are not always overtly visible. They contribute to adidas' sustainability efforts without compromising the shoe's aesthetic or performance.

Can I machine wash these shoes?

No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Please follow the manual cleaning instructions provided in the 'Care Instructions' section.

What kind of activities are these shoes best for?

These shoes are ideal for everyday casual wear, urban exploration, light walking, and low-impact gym activities. Their comfort and style make them perfect for general daily use.

What are the key material components?

The adidas Adistar Cushion features a breathable mesh upper for ventilation, leather overlays for structure and style, and a grippy rubber outsole for traction, along with the Adiprene cushioning technology.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable initially

Give the shoes a short break-in period. The materials, especially the leather components, are designed to adapt to your foot's shape after a few wears. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks.

Squeaking sound while walking

This can sometimes occur with new outsoles or due to friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole to reduce friction.

Shoes get wet in light rain

The breathable mesh upper offers limited water resistance. For rainy conditions, consider applying a water-repellent spray designed for athletic footwear, or opt for waterproof shoes.

Foot odor develops after use

Ensure shoes are fully aired out after each wear, especially the insoles. Consider using odor-absorbing insoles or shoe deodorizers to maintain freshness. Regular cleaning of insoles can also help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup

Upon receiving your adidas Adistar Cushion shoes, we recommend trying them on with the type of socks you typically wear. Walk around indoors for a short period to assess the fit and comfort before wearing them for extended periods outdoors. This ensures the shoes conform naturally to your feet.

  • Casual Wear: Jeans, chinos, shorts, t-shirts, hoodies.

  • Light Activities: Walking, gym sessions, urban exploration.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the lifespan and maintain the appearance of your shoes. The Adistar Cushion features a combination of breathable mesh and leather details:

  1. General Cleaning: Gently wipe the mesh and leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For light dirt, mild soap can be used.
  2. Stain Removal: For tougher stains, use a shoe cleaner specifically designed for athletic footwear materials. Apply sparingly and follow the product's instructions.
  3. Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials.
  4. Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing is not recommended as it can compromise the shoe's structure and materials.
  5. Odor Control: Remove insoles periodically to air them out. Consider using shoe deodorizers or odor-absorbing packets if needed.
  6. Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
