FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Yeezy 500 Ash Grey is constructed with suede and mesh and is not designed for wet weather or heavy rain.
How should I clean the mesh panels?
Use a damp cloth with mild soap and gently dab the mesh. Avoid soaking the material to prevent water damage to the underlying adhesives.
Do these shoes fit true to size?
The Yeezy 500 series generally fits comfortably, but because of the thick padding, some users prefer to go up a half-size for extra room.
Can these be used for technical hiking?
While inspired by hiking shoes, they are primarily lifestyle sneakers and are not recommended for technical or steep off-road hiking.
What is the primary benefit of the adiPRENE sole?
adiPRENE is a specialized material designed to absorb shock and provide cushioning at the heel, enhancing comfort during daily wear.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede panels
Use a specialized dry suede eraser and a soft-bristled brush to gently lift dirt without damaging the nap.
Creasing on the leather overlays
Use cedar shoe trees when not in use to help the shoe maintain its shape and minimize deep-set creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the best out of your Yeezy 500s requires minimal setup but consistent care. Because of the suede components, it is recommended to apply a protective suede spray before the first wear to guard against water and light debris. To clean the shoes, avoid submerging them in water. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the mesh and suede panels. For tougher spots, a mild leather cleaner can be used on the leather overlays, but always test on a small, inconspicuous area first. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the Ash Grey tones from fading.
