FAQs

Are the Adistar Control 5 sneakers waterproof?

No, they are made with a breathable mesh upper intended for airflow, meaning they are not waterproof.

Can these be used for long-distance running?

While inspired by archival running shoes, they are best suited for everyday wear, walking, and light fitness rather than dedicated long-distance training.

How should I clean the metallic accents?

Use a damp, soft cloth to gently wipe the metallic portions; avoid harsh solvents that could strip the finish.

Do these run true to size?

Yes, the Adistar Control 5 generally fits consistent with standard adult UK sizing.

Is this a unisex model?

Yes, the product is designed as a unisex trainer suitable for various foot shapes and styles.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt accumulation on the grey mesh

Use a soft brush to gently knock away debris, then spot-clean with a light detergent solution.

Midsole feels stiff or unresponsive

The adiPRENE+ foam may require a brief break-in period; wear them for shorter sessions until the material adapts to your foot strike.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent breathability for all-day comfort
  • Sophisticated monochromatic colorway easily pairs with various outfits
  • Effective shock absorption via adiPRENE+ technology
  • Classic dad-shoe silhouette provides timeless appeal

Cons

  • Mesh material may allow moisture penetration in wet conditions
  • Lighter colors may require more frequent spot cleaning
  • Not intended for technical terrain or professional long-distance running

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your trainers last as long as possible, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt from the mesh panels. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and a damp cloth; avoid submerging the shoes in water or using abrasive chemicals that may degrade the synthetic upper.
  2. Drying: Always air-dry at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as high heat can warp the cushioning foams and adhesives.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain the signature silhouette when they are not in use.
  4. Compatibility: These trainers fit true to standard adult sizing. If you wear them for intense walking, ensure your socks are made of moisture-wicking synthetic materials to maximize the benefits of the breathable mesh upper.
