Troubleshooting

Suede appears matted or dirty

Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and mild soap, then allow to air dry completely before brushing again.

Mesh material looks discolored

Wipe gently with a damp cloth. Avoid using colored cleaning agents. Ensure the shoes are fully dry before wearing.

Reflective piping loses its shine

The reflective elements are designed for low-light visibility. Ensure they are clean from dirt or grime. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods that could scratch the reflective surface.

Fit feels too snug

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. The Yeezy 500 model often fits true to size, but individual foot shapes vary. Consider wearing thinner socks or breaking the shoes in gradually.
