FAQs
What materials are the adidas Yeezy 500 High 'Slate' made from?
The upper is constructed from a combination of neoprene and suede, featuring reflective piping. The midsole uses Adiprene technology, and the outsole is made of gum rubber.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt and maintain the texture. For stains, a suede cleaner is recommended. Avoid excessive moisture.
Is this shoe suitable for athletic performance?
While the Adiprene midsole offers cushioning, these trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear rather than high-impact athletic activities.
What does 'Slate' refer to in the product name?
'Slate' refers to the colorway of the shoe, indicating a specific shade of black/grey for the upper and sole.
Are these shoes authentic?
Yes, the product is guaranteed authentic. The seller has over 10 years of experience in selling genuine branded footwear and provides products in original packaging.
How does the high-top design affect comfort?
The high-top design provides ankle support and a secure fit. The neoprene material underneath conforms to the foot for added comfort.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the materials offer some durability, suede is not ideal for heavy rain. It's best to avoid prolonged exposure to wet conditions to preserve the material.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels too tight or loose
Verify your UK shoe size against the product's specific sizing chart. Consider the snug fit of the neoprene interior; some users may prefer to size up for a looser feel.
Suede material looks dull or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully.
Color appears different than expected
