FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While inspired by running shoes, the Adistar Control 5 is primarily designed for lifestyle wear and everyday comfort. For intense running or athletic training, specialized performance running shoes are recommended.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel snug without slipping.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

The open-mesh upper offers breathability but is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry to mildly damp conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.

What is adiPRENE+?

adiPRENE+ is a cushioning technology used by adidas that provides enhanced comfort and shock absorption in the forefoot and heel areas.

How often should I clean my trainers?

Clean your trainers as needed, especially after significant wear or if they become visibly dirty. Regular spot cleaning can help maintain their appearance.

What is the main design inspiration for this model?

The Adistar Control 5 draws inspiration from minimalist, millennium styles and classic archival elements from the original Adistar models, blending 00s trends with a refined, versatile look.

Can the insoles be removed for custom orthotics?

The textile sockliner is integrated, and while some users may be able to carefully remove it, it is not designed for easy removal. Check the specific construction if using custom orthotics.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not pulled too tight, especially over the widest part of the foot. If the issue persists, consider if the size is appropriate.

Reduced cushioning effectiveness

The adiPRENE+ cushioning may feel less responsive over prolonged use. Ensure the shoes are not excessively worn. For new shoes, break-in periods may be needed.

Slipping on smooth surfaces

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris or mud. For significantly smooth surfaces, reduced grip is a possibility due to the nature of the tread pattern.

Material looks scuffed or dirty

Follow the care instructions to clean the textile and synthetic upper. A damp cloth and gentle brushing are recommended for minor scuffs.

Pros and Cons

  • Excellent breathability due to the open-mesh upper.
  • Comfortable cushioning with the adiPRENE+ system.
  • Versatile retro design suitable for casual wear.
  • Lightweight construction for all-day comfort.
  • Secure fit with traditional lacing system.

Cons

  • May not offer the advanced support needed for high-impact sports.
  • The retro style might not appeal to all fashion preferences.
  • Colorways may vary, and specific shades might be limited.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These trainers require no specific setup beyond lacing them to your preferred fit. Ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets for optimal support.

Compatibility:

The Adistar Control 5 is designed for everyday adult use. They are compatible with a wide range of casual and athleisure clothing. They are not specifically designed for technical athletic performance but are suitable for light athletic activities.

Care:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently clean the textile and synthetic upper. Avoid harsh detergents.
  • Cleaning the Outsole: Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with a clean, damp cloth.
  • Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  • Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning if heavily soiled. Hand wash with mild soap and water.
