FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?

No, while they feature original athletic design elements, they are best suited for lifestyle and casual walking purposes rather than competitive running.

How do I determine my size?

These trainers follow standard UK adult sizing; it is recommended to buy your usual size, but keep in mind the structured upper provides a snug fit.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing can damage the leather components and degrade the adhesive, which may shorten the lifespan of the shoe.

What materials are used in the construction?

The upper consists of open mesh with leather overlays, metallic accents, and synthetic 3-Stripes.

Does the Adiprene+ technology need to be replaced?

No, Adiprene+ is an integrated part of the foam midsole structure and does not require maintenance or replacement.

Troubleshooting

Visible dust buildup in the mesh

Use a pressurized air canister to blow debris out of the open mesh pores before wiping with a soft brush.

Leather creasing

Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the leather maintain its shape and minimize deep-set creases.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight feel for daily wear
  • Reliable traction from the rubber outsole
  • Effective forefoot cushioning

Cons

  • Not intended for technical performance training
  • Leather/mesh combination requires careful cleaning

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Adistar Control 5 trainers maintain their appearance, keep them away from harsh cleaning chemicals. Since the construction includes leather and open mesh, avoid submerging them in water.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the mesh and leather surfaces.
  2. Stains: Gently wipe leather sections with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the metallic detailing from fading or cracking.
  4. Insoles: Remove and air out the footbeds occasionally to maintain freshness.
