FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the adidas Adistar 5 follows standard sizing. If you prefer extra room for long-distance swelling, some runners choose to go up a half-size.
Can I use these for trail running?
These trainers are designed for road and paved surfaces. While they offer good stability, the outsole is not designed for technical, loose, or muddy trails.
How long will the foam cushioning last?
Typically, you can expect optimal performance from the cushioning for 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and weight.
Do these provide support for overpronation?
The Adistar 5 provides a stable ride due to its foam construction and geometry, but it is not a dedicated motion-control shoe for severe overpronation.
Can the insoles be removed?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if required.
What is the best way to clean the white exterior?
Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid bleach or heavy detergents that might yellow the synthetic components.
Troubleshooting
Feeling too much pressure on the top of the foot
Loosen the lacing system and try a different lacing pattern, such as skipping the eyelet where the pressure occurs.
Foot slipping inside the shoe during runs
Ensure the internal fit panel is pulled taut before securing the laces and consider using a 'runner's loop' lacing technique for a tighter heel lock.
Stains on the white synthetic material
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a mild soap solution with a soft-bristled brush to gently spot clean the affected areas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results with your Adistar 5 trainers, ensure the laces are adjusted while standing to account for natural foot swelling. During the first few runs, avoid overtightening the laces to let the internal fit panel mold to your arch. For maintenance, keep the white finish looking fresh by wiping the exterior synthetic materials with a soft, damp cloth after dusty or muddy runs. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the integrity of the foam cushioning and adhesives. If the shoes become soaked, remove the insoles and air dry them at room temperature away from direct sunlight.
