FAQs
Is the Yeezy 500 High waterproof?
No, the shoe is constructed with suede and neoprene, which are not inherently waterproof. Using a protective spray is recommended.
How do I choose the right size?
The Yeezy 500 High line generally fits true to size, but the secure neoprene fit means those with wider feet may prefer going up a half size.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede texture and the integrity of the adhesive used in the construction.
What is the purpose of the reflective piping?
The reflective piping is designed to catch light in dark environments, enhancing visibility for the wearer.
Does this shoe feature Boost technology?
No, the Yeezy 500 series uses Adiprene technology specifically tuned for support and impact absorption.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty pulling the high-top collar over the heel
Loosen the laces significantly down to the mid-section to create extra room before inserting your foot.
Suede appears matted or dusty
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently stroke the fibers in one direction, restoring the original texture.
Minor scuffs on the midsole
Use a magic eraser or a damp cloth with mild soap to gently scrub the rubber midsole area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Yeezy 500 Highs last, follow these maintenance tips:
- Initial Protection: Before wearing, apply a suede-safe water and stain repellent spray to create a protective barrier.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper stains, use a dry sponge or a dedicated suede cleaning kit—avoid soaking the material in water.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the colour to fade over time.
- Fit: These trainers are designed for a snug fit. If you prefer a looser feel, consider using thinner socks, though the internal neoprene lining typically molds to the foot after a few wears.
