FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for serious running?

While based on a running silhouette, the Adistar Control 5 is designed primarily as a lifestyle trainer for casual use.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Use a damp, soft cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use products specifically designed for leather care.

Does the shoe provide good arch support?

The structural design and technical overlays offer a stable, supportive feel suitable for everyday walking.

Are these trainers waterproof?

They are not waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain to preserve the quality of the leather and internal materials.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, you can replace the factory insoles with custom orthotics if you require specific arch support.

What is the best way to store the trainers?

Store in a well-ventilated area, preferably with shoe trees to help maintain the original shape.

Troubleshooting

Leather surface shows scuffs or dirt buildup

Use a specialized leather cleaner or a soft cloth dampened with mild soap to gently buff the affected areas.

Outsole loses traction over time

Clean the rubber tread with a stiff brush and water to remove debris that may be obstructing the grip.

Laces becoming frayed or loose

Replace with standard athletic laces of the same length to ensure the lockdown support remains consistent.

Pros and Cons

  • High-quality leather construction
  • Excellent grip from the rubber outsole
  • Versatile for everyday streetwear

  • Heavier than modern minimalist running shoes
  • Not intended for technical marathon training

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your trainers in prime condition, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the colors. For daily maintenance, wipe down the leather upper with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can compromise the integrity of the leather and adhesives. If the shoes become wet, air dry them naturally away from heat sources like radiators to prevent the material from cracking or warping. Ensure you choose the correct UK sizing for your specific fit to maintain the intended support structure of the shoe.
