FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for athletic activities like running or training?
While the Balenciaga Track Trainers offer significant comfort and a dynamic sole, they are primarily designed for lifestyle and fashion wear rather than high-performance athletic activities. For running or intense training, specialized athletic footwear is recommended.
How do I clean my Balenciaga Track Trainers?
For general cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth with a mild soap for the mesh and nylon surfaces. A soft brush can help clean the intricate sole design. Always air dry your trainers away from direct heat.
What does 'leather-free' mean for these trainers?
Leather-free means that no animal leather was used in the construction of these trainers. They are made from a blend of polyurethane, polyester, and nylon, offering a durable and ethical alternative.
Do these trainers come with extra laces?
Yes, each pair of Balenciaga Track Trainers includes one additional pair of laces, allowing for replacement or customization.
How should I choose the right size for my Balenciaga Track Trainers?
The size is written at the edge of the toe. Balenciaga sizing can sometimes differ, so it's generally recommended to refer to the brand's official size guide or try them on to ensure the best fit. Info needed: Specific sizing recommendations. Typically, these run true to size, but consulting a size chart that converts UK sizes to your usual sizing is advisable.
What materials are used in the construction of these trainers?
The upper is made from a blend of polyurethane, polyester, and nylon. The sole consists of rubber, EVA, and TPU, with a gel insole for added comfort.
Can I machine wash my Balenciaga Track Trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the delicate materials, adhesives, and structural integrity of the trainers. Always follow the manual cleaning instructions provided.
Troubleshooting
Laces frequently come undone.
Ensure both sets of laces are tightly double-knotted. Periodically check tension across all eyelets. The included additional laces can be used if current laces show signs of wear.
Trainers feel less comfortable or supportive over time.
Inspect the gel insole for signs of compression or wear; while durable, prolonged use can affect cushioning. Also, ensure the interior is clean of debris that might impact fit. Airing out the trainers can also help maintain freshness.
Exterior materials appear dull or dirty.
Gently clean mesh and nylon with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. For deeper crevices on the sole, use a soft brush. Avoid harsh scrubbing which can damage the material finish. Regular cleaning prevents build-up.

Care Instructions
Maintaining your Balenciaga Track Trainers ensures their longevity and appearance:
- Regular Cleaning: For mesh and nylon surfaces, use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap and water to gently wipe away dirt. Avoid abrasive materials.
- Sole Care: Clean the intricate sole design using a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) to remove dirt and debris from crevices. A damp cloth can then be used to wipe the surface.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, which can damage materials.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original dust bags or box, to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use strong detergents, bleach, or solvents, as these can discolour or degrade the polyurethane, polyester, nylon, and sole materials.
- Lace Maintenance: If laces become dirty, they can be hand-washed with mild soap and air-dried. The extra pair of laces can be used if the original ones wear out or you prefer a fresh look.
