FAQs

Are the Yeezy 500 High trainers waterproof?

No, they are not waterproof. They contain suede and leather elements that should be kept away from heavy rain or snow.

Can these be machine washed?

Do not machine wash these shoes, as the heat and agitation can ruin the suede and the bonding agents in the sole.

Are these sneakers unisex?

Yes, the Yeezy 500 High Slate model is designed for a unisex fit, accommodating a wide range of foot shapes.

What is the primary benefit of Adiprene cushioning?

Adiprene is a shock-absorbing material that reduces impact stress on the heel and joints while walking.

Do these fit true to size?

Most users find that Yeezy 500s fit true to size, but those who prefer a roomier fit or plan to wear thick socks may choose to go up half a size.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks matted or dusty

Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift the fibers in a consistent direction.

Creasing on the leather overlays

Use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the structural integrity of the leather panels.

Laces feel loose or slip

Ensure the rope laces are double-knotted, as the material can be slippery compared to flat cotton laces.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-end construction using premium materials
  • Excellent underfoot comfort from Adiprene tech
  • Distinctive, bold high-top design
  • Durable reinforced sidewall mudguard

Cons

  • Suede materials are sensitive to moisture and dirt
  • High-top silhouette requires more time to lace and adjust
  • Specific care regimen needed to preserve color and texture

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Yeezy 500 High trainers, follow these guidelines. Setup is straightforward; loosen the rope laces significantly before your first wear to ensure the neoprene base sits correctly against your ankle. Because the exterior features real suede, you should treat the shoes with a protective suede water-repellent spray before taking them outside for the first time. For cleaning, avoid submerging them in water. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dust and dirt. Use specialized suede cleaners for spot treatment. Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the suede to fade over time.
