FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the Adiprene cushioning is comfortable, these are designed as lifestyle trainers rather than performance running shoes.
How do I clean the reflective piping?
Gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the reflective coating.
Does the sizing differ from other Yeezy models?
The Yeezy 500 High generally fits true to size, though personal preference for fit may vary.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the suede materials and compromise the adhesive bonds of the sole. Stick to hand cleaning.
Is the neoprene lining waterproof?
The neoprene provides a degree of resistance, but it is not waterproof. Avoid heavy rain or deep puddles to protect the suede overlays.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede upper
Use a specialized suede brush to lift surface debris; do not use water on suede as it can leave marks.
Creasing or loss of shape
Use shoe trees when not in use to maintain the internal structure of the high-top silhouette.
Soles becoming slippery
Wipe the gum rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove compacted dust or debris that reduces friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Yeezy 500 High Slate remains in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Protection: Apply a water and stain-repellent spray specifically designed for suede before the first use.
- Cleaning: Use a dry soft-bristled brush to gently remove dirt from the suede panels. For the neoprene sections, use a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid soaking the shoe.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the colours from fading.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit true to size for most adults, though those preferring a looser fit may consider a half-size adjustment depending on sock thickness.
