FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for athletic activities like running?

No, the Balenciaga Track Trainers are primarily designed as fashion footwear. While they offer significant comfort and cushioning for everyday wear, they are not intended for high-performance athletic activities or sports.

How should I clean the mesh and nylon upper?

We recommend spot cleaning. Use a soft, damp cloth with a small amount of mild, non-abrasive soap. Gently wipe the affected areas, then wipe with a clean, damp cloth to remove any soap residue. Air dry completely.

Do these trainers come with extra laces?

Yes, each pair of Balenciaga Track Trainers includes one additional pair of laces, allowing for replacement or alternative styling.

What is the overall fit like? Are they true to size?

The trainers are designed with a dynamic sole for comfort. Balenciaga typically advises that their Track Trainers run true to size, but individual fit preferences may vary. It is always recommended to check a size guide or try them on if possible.

What materials are used in the construction of these trainers?

The upper is made from a blend of polyurethane, polyester, and nylon mesh. The sole consists of rubber, EVA, and TPU elements, with a gel insole for added comfort. They are designed as a leather-free product.

Can I machine wash my Balenciaga Track Trainers?

No, machine washing is strongly advised against. The complex construction, multiple materials, and delicate components can be damaged by the harsh cycle of a washing machine. Always opt for manual spot cleaning.

What does "96 high-tech components" refer to?

This refers to the intricate engineering of the sole and upper, where numerous precisely designed parts are assembled to create the trainer's unique structure, advanced cushioning, and shock-absorbing properties for optimal comfort.

Are these trainers heavy to wear?

Due to their chunky and multi-layered sole design, they have a substantial feel compared to minimalist trainers. However, the design also incorporates lightweight materials and an augmented sole for comfort and shock absorption, balancing the overall wear experience.

Troubleshooting

Laces frequently come undone.

Ensure you are using a secure knot, such as a double knot. The trainers include an additional pair of laces, which can be used if the existing ones are worn or for a tighter initial knot.

Trainers feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

Like many new shoes with complex constructions, these trainers may require a brief break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations at first to allow the materials and cushioning to adapt to your foot.

Minor scuffs or marks on the chunky sole.

For rubber and TPU sole elements, a gentle cleaning with a shoe sole cleaner or a damp cloth with mild soap can often remove surface marks. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the sole.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional all-day comfort due to advanced cushioning technology.
  • Bold and distinctive aesthetic makes a strong fashion statement.
  • Versatile for both city wear and social occasions.
  • High-quality, complex construction with many engineered components.
  • Comes with an additional pair of laces for convenience.

Cons

  • Chunky, maximalist design may not align with minimalist preferences.
  • Synthetic materials might not be preferred by all users.
  • Specific care might be required due to complex material composition.
  • The unique design may not pair seamlessly with all outfit styles.

Setup:

  1. Lacing: The trainers come pre-laced with a double lacing system. Adjust the laces to your preferred tightness for a secure and comfortable fit.
  2. Pull-On Tabs: Utilize the pull-on tabs on the back and tongue to easily slide your foot into the trainer.

Compatibility:

  • These trainers are designed for adults, specifically marketed towards a female gender, but their style can be embraced by anyone seeking a bold aesthetic.
  • They are versatile enough to complement a range of casual and contemporary fashion outfits, from denim and streetwear to more elevated casual looks.

Care:

  • Cleaning: For general cleaning, gently wipe the mesh and nylon upper with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution, then wipe clean with a separate damp cloth.
  • Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original shoe box or a breathable shoe bag, to maintain their shape and protect against dust.
  • Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can degrade the synthetic materials and complex sole structure. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
