FAQs
What is the main technology used for cushioning?
The primary cushioning technology is adiPRENE+, which is designed to provide dynamic energy return and reduce impact forces.
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
While they offer good cushioning, the Adistar Control 5 is primarily designed for lifestyle wear and casual athletic activities. For marathon running, specialized running shoes with advanced support and cushioning might be more appropriate.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
Refer to the product's size chart or try them on if possible. The provided UK size (e.g., UK 10.5) corresponds to standard adult sizing.
What materials are used in the upper?
The upper is primarily constructed from a breathable textile mesh, providing ventilation and a lightweight feel.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
The textile mesh upper offers some breathability but is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
What does 'Control' in the name signify?
The 'Control' aspect likely refers to the design intended to offer stability and support during movement, characteristic of shoes from that era.
How often should I clean my trainers?
Clean your trainers as needed, especially after getting them dirty. Regular spot cleaning will help maintain their appearance and prolong their lifespan.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and try re-lacing them, ensuring an even distribution of tension. If still uncomfortable, consider the fit might not be suitable for your foot shape.
Slight squeaking sound
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try wearing them for a few short periods to break them in. If the noise persists, check for any debris trapped in the sole or between layers.
Discoloration on white mesh
Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher stains, use a soft-bristled brush and a specialized shoe cleaner for white materials. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
