FAQs
Are the Yeezy 500 Highs waterproof?
No, they are made primarily of suede and neoprene, which are porous materials. We recommend using a water-repellent spray to provide a layer of protection.
How do I keep the suede clean?
Use a suede brush for dry dirt and a suede eraser for minor scuffs. Never use water-based soaps on the suede components.
Are these suitable for gym workouts?
While they offer great comfort, they are categorized as lifestyle trainers and are not intended for heavy athletic performance or weightlifting.
Do these shoes fit true to size?
The Yeezy 500 line typically runs slightly snug due to the internal padding; many users prefer to go up a half size for a more comfortable fit.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is a mix of neoprene, suede, and tumbled leather, supported by an Adiprene-cushioned rubber midsole.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or dusty
Use a specialized suede brush or a clean, dry toothbrush to gently lift the fibers in one direction.
Laces feel loose or slip
Ensure the rope laces are properly tensioned through the eyelets and consider a double knot if they continue to loosen during wear.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Sophisticated high-top aesthetic that stands out
- High-quality suede and leather construction
- Excellent underfoot comfort thanks to Adiprene technology
- Durable mudguard for enhanced protection
- Secure fit provided by the rope lacing system
Cons
- Suede material is prone to staining and water damage
- High-top design requires more time to lace up
- Limited breathability compared to mesh performance runners
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, pull the rope laces firmly to secure the tongue against the midfoot. Because the upper features delicate suede, it is highly recommended to apply a suede-specific protective spray before wearing them outdoors for the first time. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust and dirt. Avoid fully submerging the trainers in water, as this can ruin the texture of the suede. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and leather cracking.
