FAQs
Is the Yeezy 500 High Slate waterproof?
No, it is not waterproof. The suede and neoprene materials can absorb moisture, so it is recommended to apply a protective spray.
How does the sizing compare to other adidas models?
The Yeezy 500 series often has a snug fit due to the padding; many users prefer to go up a half size compared to their standard adidas trainer size.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing will damage the suede and the structural integrity of the Adiprene midsole.
What is the purpose of the reflective piping?
The reflective piping is designed to improve visibility in low-light conditions, such as walking at dusk or night.
Is this shoe suitable for running?
No, the Yeezy 500 High Slate is classified as a lifestyle/casual trainer and is not engineered for long-distance running or heavy athletic performance.
Troubleshooting
Visible surface dust or light debris on suede
Gently use a dry, soft-bristled brush to sweep the dust off in the direction of the suede grain.
Creasing or loss of shape
Insert high-quality cedar shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the structure of the high-top collar.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers feature delicate suede components, proper maintenance is essential. Always treat the suede with a professional-grade water and stain repellent spray before the first wear. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface debris, and for deeper stains, use a dedicated suede cleaning kit. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat and excessive water can warp the materials and ruin the adhesive bonds. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration.
