FAQs
Are these true to size?
Most users find the Yeezy 500 High Slate to fit true to size. However, due to the neoprene construction, they offer a snug fit. If you prefer a looser feel or have wider feet, consider sizing up half a size.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed from a combination of neoprene and suede.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the suede and neoprene offer some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the materials.
How do I clean the suede parts?
Use a soft brush for dry dirt. For stains, a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth can be used very carefully. Avoid soaking the suede.
What is the main benefit of the Adiprene midsole?
The Adiprene midsole provides excellent cushioning and shock absorption, offering comfort for extended wear.
Is this model suitable for sports?
These trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and fashion wear. They are not recommended for rigorous athletic activities.
What does the reflective piping do?
The reflective piping is a design feature that enhances visibility in low-light conditions by reflecting light sources.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on suede or neoprene
Minor creasing is natural with wear. Avoid bending the shoes excessively when not worn. Use shoe trees to help maintain shape.
Discoloration of the gum sole
Gum soles can yellow over time, especially with UV exposure. Store away from direct sunlight. Cleaning with a specialized sole cleaner might help.
Difficulty putting on
The neoprene sock-like construction can be snug. Ensure laces are loosened before putting them on. Gently pull the heel tab.
Reflective piping losing reflectivity
Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning methods on the piping. Gently wipe with a damp cloth.
