FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Most users find the Yeezy 500 runs slightly small; consider going up a half size for a more comfortable fit.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, never machine wash these sneakers. The heat and water can permanently damage the suede and leather components.
What is adiPRENE?
adiPRENE is a proprietary adidas cushioning technology designed to absorb impact and provide responsive support during movement.
Is this sneaker suitable for professional hiking?
No, while it features 90s hiking-inspired aesthetics, it is categorized as a lifestyle sneaker and not intended for technical hiking.
How do I remove water spots from suede?
Let the shoes air dry naturally away from heat sources. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the texture.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede panels
Use a dry suede eraser or soft brush to gently lift dirt without damaging the nap.
Creasing in the leather or suede
Use a shoe tree when storing to help minimize creasing and maintain structural integrity.
Loss of traction over time
Check the outsole for lodged debris; use a brush to clear the gaps in the sculptural sole pattern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Yeezy 500s stay in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Suede Maintenance: Always use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. Avoid getting the suede wet, as it can cause discoloration or spotting.
- Stain Protection: Apply a high-quality water and stain repellent spray suitable for suede and leather before your first wear.
- Cleaning: For mesh sections, use a soft-bristled brush with a gentle cleaning solution. Dab, don't rub, to prevent pushing dirt deeper into the fabric.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the Ash Grey tones. Use shoe trees to help the sneakers retain their shape when not in use.
