FAQs
Are these Balenciaga Track Runners made from animal leather?
No, these trainers are explicitly 'leather free.' They are crafted using a combination of polyurethane, polyester, and nylon.
What is the arch height of these trainers?
The trainers feature a 50mm arch, contributing to their dynamic sole design and enhanced comfort.
How should I clean my Balenciaga Track Runners?
For optimal care, simply wipe the trainers with a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh cleaning agents or submerging them in water.
What materials are used in the construction of these trainers?
The uppers are composed of mesh and nylon, primarily polyurethane, polyester, and nylon. The lining is fabric, and the soles are made from rubber, EVA, and TPU, with a gel insole for cushioning.
What does the 'washed effect' mean for the appearance of the trainers?
The 'washed effect' is a deliberate design choice that gives the trainers a distinctive pre-worn, slightly faded, or vintage-inspired look. This is an intentional part of their aesthetic and not a sign of wear or damage.
Do these trainers come with extra laces?
Yes, one additional pair of laces is included with your Balenciaga Track Runners for your convenience.
How do the double laces function, and can I re-tie them?
The double laces are knotted in a specific 'usual equipment way' to provide a unique look and secure fit. You can adjust each lace set individually for comfort, or re-tie them to your preferred lacing style.
Troubleshooting
My trainers appear pre-worn or slightly discolored even though they are new.
The Balenciaga Track Runners feature a 'washed effect' design. This is an intentional aesthetic choice by the brand to give the trainers a unique, well-worn, and vintage-inspired look. It is not a defect or a sign of prior use.
The double laces feel complicated or difficult to adjust for a comfortable fit.
The trainers come with double laces, knotted in a specific style. You can adjust each set of laces individually to achieve your desired level of tightness and comfort. Experiment with loosening or tightening both sets until you find the perfect fit, or re-tie them if preferred.
I find it challenging to put the trainers on or take them off easily.
Utilize the integrated pull-on tabs located at the back of the heel and on the tongue. These tabs are designed to assist you in effortlessly sliding your foot into and out of the trainers.
My feet feel uncomfortable despite the dynamic sole and augmented back.
Ensure you have chosen the correct size (UK 12). Also, properly adjust the double laces to prevent excessive pressure or looseness. The 50mm arch and gel insole are designed for comfort, but individual foot shapes vary. Consider wearing appropriate socks that complement the shoe's fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Your Balenciaga Track Runners come with a front lace-up fastening and double laces, which are pre-knotted in a specific style. Before your first wear, you might want to:
- Adjust Laces: While knotted in a 'usual equipment way,' you can individually tighten or loosen each set of laces to achieve your desired fit. Ensure they are snug but not uncomfortably tight.
- Utilize Pull Tabs: For easier donning, use the back and tongue pull-on tabs to guide your foot into the trainer.
- Explore Fit: Walk around in them briefly to ensure the dynamic sole design and augmented back provide optimal comfort for your foot.
Compatibility
These trainers are designed for adult males and are ideal for a UK size 12. Their black color and chunky aesthetic make them highly versatile, complementing a wide range of casual and contemporary wardrobes. They are suitable for:
- Casual Outfits: Pair them with jeans, cargo pants, or shorts.

Care
Proper care will maintain the appearance and longevity of your Balenciaga Track Runners:
- Cleaning: Wipe with a soft cloth. For minor dirt, a damp soft cloth is sufficient. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the mesh and nylon materials.
- Drying: Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Keeping them in their original box or a shoe bag can protect them from dust.
- Washed Effect: Remember that the 'washed effect' is an intentional design feature, giving the trainers a pre-worn look. This is not a defect.
