FAQs
Are the adidas Yeezy 500 High Slate true to size?
Sizing can vary slightly. It's generally recommended to consult size charts and customer reviews. Many find them to fit true to size, but some suggest sizing up if you have wider feet or prefer more room.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the materials offer some protection, they are not waterproof. The suede can be damaged by excessive moisture. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions.
How do I maintain the black color of the suede?
Regular brushing with a suede brush helps maintain the color and texture. Avoid exposing the shoes to direct sunlight for extended periods, as this can cause fading.
What is the primary material used in the upper?
The upper is constructed from a combination of neoprene and suede, with reflective piping detailing.
Is this shoe suitable for athletic performance?
While comfortable for walking and everyday activities due to the Adiprene cushioning, they are primarily designed as a fashion sneaker and not optimized for high-impact athletic performance.
What is the original release date and price?
These sneakers were released on December 17, 2019, with an original retail price of $200.
How does the high-top design compare to the low-top Yeezy 500?
The high-top version offers increased ankle support and a more substantial visual presence, whereas the low-top provides a more conventional silhouette.
Troubleshooting
Suede material appears matted or discolored.
Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap and lift dirt. For minor discoloration, a suede eraser might help. Always test cleaning methods on an inconspicuous area first.
Neoprene feels tight or constricting.
Neoprene naturally offers a snug fit. Wear the shoes for short periods to allow them to mold to your foot. Ensure the laces are not overtightened.
Difficulty cleaning stubborn dirt from the rubber sole.
Use a soft brush with a mixture of mild soap and water. For tougher marks, a magic eraser can be effective, but use with caution to avoid damaging surrounding materials.
Reflective piping shows signs of wear.
Avoid abrasive cleaning on the reflective elements. Gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or excessive rubbing can damage the reflective coating.

Care:
