FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

These trainers are designed for casual, everyday wear. They lack the technical support and motion control required for dedicated running.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the exterior. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the leather in water.

Does the leather stretch over time?

Leather naturally conforms to the shape of your foot with wear, but it will not stretch significantly in size.

Are these suitable for rainy weather?

The leather upper provides some resistance, but they are not waterproof. We recommend applying a leather-safe water repellent spray if you expect to be in wet conditions.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, you can remove the existing insoles and replace them with custom orthotics or third-party inserts if desired.

Troubleshooting

Creasing appearing on the leather upper

Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help them maintain their shape and minimize deep creases.

Difficulty maintaining cleanliness on the sole

Use a soft-bristled brush with mild soapy water to scrub the rubber outsole, ensuring you rinse thoroughly afterward.

Laces coming undone frequently

Ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets properly to distribute tension and consider a double knot if extra security is needed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable leather upper construction
  • Lightweight cushioning for all-day comfort
  • Versatile design suitable for various casual settings
  • Reliable rubber grip for urban walking

Cons

  • Not intended for high-performance athletic training
  • Leather material requires specific care to prevent staining
  • Limited ventilation compared to mesh-based trainers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Adistar Control 5 trainers last as long as possible, it is essential to follow a regular care routine. Since the exterior is made of leather, avoid machine washing, which can damage the material and adhesives. Instead, wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust or dirt. For tougher marks, use a dedicated leather cleaner or conditioner. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the leather from cracking. To keep the interior fresh, consider using moisture-absorbing inserts when the shoes are not in use.
