FAQs
Are the adidas Yeezy 500 'Granite' suitable for wide feet?
The Yeezy 500 generally has a roomy fit, particularly in the toe box, which can accommodate wider feet. However, the fit can vary slightly. It's recommended to try them on if possible or consult sizing guides carefully.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper of this specific 'Granite' low shoe variant is primarily constructed from premium leather, complemented by suede and mesh elements common to the Yeezy 500 design.
How do these compare to other Yeezy models in terms of comfort?
The Yeezy 500 is known for its substantial cushioning and unique, supportive sole. Many find it offers a different, perhaps more robust, type of comfort compared to slimmer Yeezy models like the 350.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, these shoes are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials and maintain their condition.
What is the recommended way to clean the suede parts?
For suede sections, use a dedicated suede brush or a clean, dry toothbrush to gently remove dirt. Avoid using water directly on suede. For tougher stains, a suede cleaner designed for footwear should be used sparingly.
Does the 'Granite' colorway fade over time?
Like most footwear, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause colors to fade gradually. Proper storage away from direct light will help preserve the 'Granite' color.
What is the purpose of the adiPRENE+ cushioning?
The adiPRENE+ cushioning technology in the sole is designed to provide enhanced comfort and shock absorption, particularly in the forefoot area, offering a responsive feel during movement.
Troubleshooting
Initial stiffness or discomfort
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in and conform to your foot shape. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the sole and the insole. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or a dryer sheet under the insole, or consult a shoe repair specialist if the issue persists.
Leather scuffs or marks
For minor scuffs, a soft eraser or a specialized leather cleaner can often remove them. For deeper marks, a leather repair kit or professional cleaning may be necessary.
Color transfer from the shoe to socks
This can happen with new, dark-colored footwear. It is often reduced after the first few wears. Ensure socks are clean and dry before wearing. If excessive, consider using a color protectant spray suitable for leather.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: As footwear, the adidas Yeezy 500 'Granite' requires no setup. Simply ensure you have selected the correct size for a comfortable fit.
Compatibility: These low shoes are highly compatible with a variety of casual clothing styles, including jeans, shorts, track pants, and casual dresses. They are designed for adult wear and can be paired with most athletic or casual socks.
Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Yeezy 500 'Granite' shoes:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For stubborn marks on the leather, a slightly damp cloth can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or their original box, to protect them from dust and moisture. Ensure they are dry before storing.
- Conditioning: Periodically, consider using a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking, especially in dry climates.
