FAQs
Are these trainers made of real leather?
No, the Balenciaga Track Trainers are leather-free. The upper is constructed from a combination of mesh and nylon, along with polyurethane and polyester, offering a durable and synthetic alternative.
What does '96 high-tech components' mean for comfort?
This refers to the intricate engineering of the sole and internal structure. These numerous components work together to provide exceptional cushioning, shock absorption, and anatomical support, contributing to all-day comfort and reduced foot fatigue.
How should I clean my Track Trainers?
For the synthetic upper, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap. For the sole, a brush and mild soap work well. Always air dry away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemical cleaners.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Balenciaga Track Trainers are generally considered to run true to size, but individual fit can vary. For the best fit, it's recommended to consult the Balenciaga size guide or try them on if possible. This specific model is a UK size 6.
What is included with the purchase?
Each pair of Balenciaga Track Trainers typically includes the trainers themselves, an additional pair of laces, and a shoe box for storage and protection.
Can I use these trainers for running or sports?
While the Track Trainers offer excellent cushioning and comfort, they are primarily designed as a fashion and lifestyle shoe rather than for high-performance athletic activities like running or competitive sports. Their construction prioritizes style and urban comfort.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too stiff or uncomfortable initially.
The Balenciaga Track Trainers, like many high-quality shoes with complex construction, may require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially to allow the materials and cushioning to adapt to your foot shape. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly – not too tight, not too loose.
Difficulty keeping the trainers clean, especially the intricate panels.
Regular light cleaning is key. For tough-to-reach areas, use a soft-bristled brush (like an old toothbrush) and a small amount of mild soap and water. A microfiber cloth can help buff surfaces without scratching. For stubborn marks, specialized synthetic footwear cleaners may be effective, always testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces frequently come undone or seem too long.
The trainers come with double laces. Ensure both sets are properly knotted and tightened. If the laces feel excessively long, you can experiment with different lacing techniques or consider replacing them with the included spare pair, which may have a slightly different texture or length. Some users prefer a double knot for added security.
Minor scuffs or marks appear on the sole.
The durable rubber and TPU sole can withstand regular wear. For minor scuffs, a 'magic eraser' type cleaning sponge can often gently remove surface marks without damaging the material. For deeper scuffs, these are often part of normal wear and tear on a dynamic sole.

Care Instructions
To maintain the distinctive look and extend the life of your Balenciaga Track Trainers, follow these general care guidelines:
- Cleaning the Upper: For mesh and nylon surfaces, use a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap to gently clean dirt and scuffs. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the synthetic fabrics. Wipe clean with a separate damp cloth and air dry away from direct heat.
- Cleaning the Sole: The chunky rubber and EVA sole can be cleaned with a brush and mild soap to remove mud and grime. Pay attention to the embossed details.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or using heat sources like radiators, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, preferably in their original shoe box or a breathable shoe bag to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
- Lace Care: If laces become dirty, they can often be hand-washed separately with mild soap and air-dried. Utilize the additional pair of laces as needed.
- Avoidance: Do not machine wash or tumble dry your trainers, as this can cause irreversible damage to the structure and materials.
