FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The Yeezy 500 High series generally fits true to size, but the structured leather can feel slightly more snug than mesh alternatives.

Can I use these for running?

While the 500 High provides great support, it is designed as a lifestyle 'dad shoe' and is not specifically engineered for long-distance running performance.

How do I clean the leather?

Wipe with a damp cloth. For deeper stains, use a specialized leather cleaner suitable for suede or nubuck-like textures.

Are these waterproof?

The leather construction offers some resistance to light moisture, but they are not fully waterproof.

Is the outsole non-marking?

Yes, the outsole is designed to be wear-resistant and typically performs well on indoor surfaces without leaving marks.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty getting feet inside the high-top collar

Loosen the top three eyelets completely before inserting your foot; using a shoe horn can also help prevent heel damage.

Creasing on the leather upper

Use shoe trees when not wearing to maintain the shape of the toe box and reduce deep creasing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable leather construction for longevity
  • Reliable non-slip outsole for enhanced safety
  • Unique high-top design offers excellent ankle support
  • Versatile 'Taupe Black' colorway fits many styles

Cons

  • High-top design requires more effort to put on/take off
  • Limited ventilation compared to mesh-heavy performance trainers
  • Bulky aesthetic may not appeal to fans of minimal footwear

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Yeezy 500s remain in top condition, follow these simple guidelines:

  • Break-in Period: Since these are crafted from leather, they may feel snug initially. Wear them for short durations to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot.
  • Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt. For leather care, use a damp cloth and mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals that may degrade the finish.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and leather cracking.
  • Lacing: Adjust the laces to accommodate the high-top ankle support, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit that does not restrict circulation.
