FAQs
How do I properly clean my Balenciaga Track Trainers?
For cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Gently wipe the mesh, nylon, and polyurethane surfaces. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive brushes, or machine washing. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.
Are these trainers waterproof?
While the materials offer some resistance to light splashes, the Balenciaga Track Trainers are not designed to be fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion should be avoided to protect the materials and construction.
What does 'leather free' mean for these trainers?
Leather-free means that no animal leather was used in the construction of these trainers. The upper is made from a combination of polyurethane, polyester, and nylon, offering a synthetic alternative with a unique texture and durability.
Can I replace the laces, and are extra laces included?
Yes, an additional pair of laces is included with your trainers. You can replace the existing laces by carefully unlacing them and threading the new pair, ensuring you follow the `double lacing system` style.
Are these trainers suitable for athletic activities or running?
The Balenciaga Track Trainers are primarily designed for fashion and casual wear. While they offer comfort and support with their `dynamic sole design`, they are not engineered for high-performance athletic activities like running or intense sports.
What is the benefit of the 'dynamic sole design'?
The `dynamic sole design` features an augmented back and a complex multi-layered structure, including `rubber, eva, and tpu` components, along with a `gel insole`. This design is intended to provide enhanced cushioning, support, and overall comfort, especially in the heel area, while also contributing to the trainer's distinctive silhouette.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel too loose or too tight, or come undone frequently.
Adjust the `double lacing system` for even tension across all eyelets. Ensure the 'equipment way' knot is tied securely. If still loose, try a double knot. Refer to the 'Setup' section for lacing guidance.
Trainers feel bulky or uncomfortable initially.
The `dynamic sole design` and multi-layered construction can feel substantial at first. Allow for a break-in period for your feet to adapt to the unique sole contour and `gel insole`. Ensure you have the correct size.
Stains or dirt visible on the mesh and nylon upper.
Gently clean the affected areas with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid rubbing vigorously, which can damage the fabric. For embedded dirt, a soft brush can be used carefully. Do not machine wash.
Squeaking sound coming from the sole.
This can sometimes occur due to trapped moisture or the materials rubbing. Ensure the trainers are completely dry inside. If it persists, a small amount of baby powder under the `fabric insole` might help reduce friction.

Setup
Your Balenciaga Track Trainers come with a unique `double lacing system`. While they arrive pre-laced, you may wish to adjust them for optimal comfort and fit.
- Adjusting Laces: Untie the existing knots. Starting from the lowest eyelets, thread both laces through each set of eyelets, ensuring even tension. The 'equipment way' knot involves wrapping the laces around each other multiple times before tying a standard bow.
- Using Additional Laces: If you wish to replace the laces or try a different style, carefully unlace the existing ones and re-lace with the spare pair provided, following the same procedure.
Compatibility
These trainers are designed for adults and are sized according to UK standards (e.g., UK 1, UK 5, UK 7). They are labeled as a female gender product but can be worn by anyone who finds the fit suitable. Please refer to Balenciaga's official sizing charts if you are unsure of your size.
Care
Proper care will help maintain the aesthetic and longevity of your trainers.
- Cleaning: Due to the `polyurethane`, `polyester`, and `nylon` materials, avoid harsh chemical cleaners. Gently wipe the mesh and nylon surfaces with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap (e.g., dish soap diluted with water). For stubborn dirt, use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) on affected areas.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as these can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Sole Care: The `rubber, eva, tpu` sole is durable but can be cleaned with a stiff brush to remove dirt and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the sole's finish.
