FAQs
Is the Yeezy 500 true to size?
The Yeezy 500 typically has a snug fit due to its layered construction; many users recommend going up half a size compared to standard trainers.
Can these be machine washed?
No. Machine washing can ruin the suede and damage the integrity of the adhesive bonding the sole to the upper.
What is adiPRENE?
adiPRENE is a proprietary adidas cushioning material designed to absorb shock and provide impact protection at the heel.
Are these suitable for hiking?
While inspired by 90s hiking shoes, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers and are not intended for technical hiking or rough terrain.
How do I remove scuffs from the suede?
Gently rub the scuff with a suede eraser or a white pencil eraser, then use a brush to reset the texture of the material.
Troubleshooting
Surface dirt on the suede
Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently remove debris before it sets into the nap.
Sole losing responsiveness
Ensure the insoles are properly seated and not compressed; replace with high-quality orthotic inserts if necessary.
Water spots on leather/suede
Pat dry with a clean microfiber cloth and let air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Yeezy 500s remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Protective Spray: Apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray before first wear to create a moisture barrier.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dust and dirt from the suede and mesh areas. For deeper stains, use a dedicated suede eraser or a light application of a specialized cleaning solution.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the Ash Grey tones. Use shoe trees to help the leather upper maintain its shape.
- Avoid Moisture: Due to the material composition, avoid wearing these during heavy rain or in muddy conditions to prevent permanent staining or material degradation.
