FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Yeezy 500 High is designed as a lifestyle trainer rather than a performance running shoe and is best suited for walking and casual daily use.
How do I clean the suede parts?
Use a specialized dry suede brush to lift dirt and stains. Avoid using excessive water as it can permanently mark the material.
What is the sizing fit like?
The Yeezy 500 series generally follows standard Adidas sizing, but because of the high-top construction and thick overlays, some users prefer a half-size up for extra room.
Can these be worn in wet weather?
While the rubber wrap offers some protection, the suede and leather components are susceptible to water damage and are not intended for heavy rain or mud.
Do the reflective details work at night?
Yes, the reflective piping is designed to catch light in low-visibility conditions, enhancing the silhouette's appearance.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on leather or suede
Use shoe trees when not in use to maintain the internal structure and minimize natural creasing.
Water spots on suede panels
Allow the shoe to air dry naturally away from heat sources and use a suede brush to restore the texture once fully dry.
Difficulty putting on the shoe
Fully loosen the laces from the top three eyelets to allow the high-top collar to open wide enough for the foot to enter easily.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the upper consists of mixed materials including suede and leather, maintenance is crucial. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust from suede sections regularly, avoiding water saturation which can damage the nap. If the rubber wrap becomes scuffed, a damp cloth with mild soap can typically restore its appearance. For the elastane base, spot cleaning with a specialized sneaker cleaner is recommended. Ensure you store the trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the grey tones from fading over time. When lacing, ensure consistent tension to support the ankle without causing pressure points.
