FAQs
Are these shoes water-resistant?
No, the suede material is porous and not waterproof. It is highly recommended to use a suede-specific protective spray to repel minor moisture.
Do these trainers fit true to size?
While Yeezy 500s are generally standard, users often prefer a half-size up if they have wider feet or prefer a roomier fit in the toe box.
How should I store these trainers?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, ideally with shoe trees inside to keep their form.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can permanently damage the suede and the integrity of the shoe structure. Always hand-clean using approved methods.
What is the primary material used?
These trainers feature a combination of premium suede and textile materials for the upper, set on a durable rubber sole.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dusty or matted
Use a soft-bristled suede brush and gently brush in one direction to lift the nap and remove surface dust.
Scuff marks on the rubber midsole
Gently wipe the affected rubber area with a clean, damp cloth and a mild detergent, avoiding contact with the suede panels.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When you first receive your Yeezy 500 High trainers, ensure you wear socks of appropriate thickness to break them in, as the structured suede can feel firm initially. To maintain the condition of your shoes, avoid excessive exposure to water or direct sunlight. If cleaning is necessary, use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dust and debris. For stubborn marks, utilize a specialized suede cleaner and follow the manufacturer instructions carefully. Store in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees to maintain the high-top shape during extended periods of inactivity.
