FAQs
Are the Yeezy 450s true to size?
The Yeezy 450 typically runs small due to its snug, sock-like fit; most users recommend sizing up by at least a half size.
Can I use these for intense sports or running?
No, these are lifestyle trainers designed for casual wear and are not intended for high-performance sports or long-distance running.
How do I clean the Dark Slate knit?
Use a soft brush and mild soap solution to gently scrub the knit, then wipe with a damp cloth and air dry in the shade.
Is the EVA midsole durable?
The EVA foam is durable for daily walking, but you should avoid sharp objects that could pierce or tear the foam ridges.
What is the primary color of the Dark Slate version?
While listed as black, the knit base features brown threading, which gives the shoe a multi-tonal appearance in different lighting.
Troubleshooting
Knit upper feels too tight across the midfoot
Loosen the lacing system completely to allow the knit to expand, or consider wearing thinner socks.
Dirt stuck in the ridges of the EVA midsole
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush or a specialized cleaning pick to gently remove debris from the crevices.
Upper material shows minor fraying
Carefully trim any loose knit threads with small scissors; do not pull on the threads as it may cause further unraveling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most out of your Yeezy 450s starts with proper sizing. Because the knit upper has very little stretch, many users find that going up a half-size provides a more comfortable experience. To maintain the shoes, avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the knit fibers and the EVA foam integrity. Instead, gently spot-clean the knit with a soft-bristled brush, lukewarm water, and a mild detergent. For the EVA foam midsole, use a damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. Always allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent the foam from warping.
