FAQs
Are these sneakers true to size?
Balenciaga Track Sneakers are generally considered to fit true to size. We recommend purchasing your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. However, individual foot shapes can vary. > Info needed: Add manufacturer's specific sizing advice if available.
What is the material composition of the sneakers?
The upper is composed of 75% Polyurethane, 21% Polyester, and 4% Nylon. The sole is made of rubber, EVA, and TPU, with a fabric insole and rubber outsole.
Is an extra pair of laces included?
Yes, each pair of Balenciaga Track Sneakers comes with one additional pair of laces, beyond the double laces already on the shoe.
What is the arch height of the sole?
The dynamic sole design features an arch height of 50mm, providing significant elevation and comfort.
Can these sneakers be worn in wet weather?
While the mesh and nylon upper offers some resistance, these sneakers are not waterproof. We advise against prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve the materials and maintain the shoe's integrity.
How do I care for the 'washed effect' finish?
The washed effect is an intentional part of the design, giving the shoe a pre-worn look. To maintain this, avoid harsh cleaning agents or vigorous scrubbing. Gentle spot cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended.
Troubleshooting
The 'washed effect' on my sneakers looks too worn or faded.
The washed effect is an intentional design feature to give the sneakers a pre-loved, worn-in appearance. This is part of the product's unique aesthetic and not a defect. To maintain this specific look, avoid aggressive cleaning methods.
My sneakers feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Like many structured sneakers, these may require a brief break-in period. The dynamic sole is designed for comfort, and with a few wears, the materials should adapt to your foot for optimal comfort.
The double laces seem complicated to tie or keep secure.
The double lacing system is designed for both aesthetics and security. Ensure laces are pulled taut and knotted securely. Experiment with different knotting techniques if needed. The inclusion of an additional pair of laces allows for replacement if original laces become worn.
How do I remove scuffs or marks from the sole?
For scuffs on the rubber sole, use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution. A soft brush or an old toothbrush can help with textured areas. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners that could damage the sole material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Your Balenciaga Track Sneakers come ready to wear. Simply unbox, loosen the double laces if needed, slide your foot in, and securely tie the laces. The pre-knotted double laces are part of the intended aesthetic and functionality. An additional pair of laces is included in the box for future replacement or customization.
Compatibility
These sneakers are a versatile addition to a streetwear, casual, or avant-garde wardrobe. They pair well with joggers, denim, cargo pants, and even tailored trousers for a modern, high-low fashion contrast. Their bold design makes them a focal point, complementing minimalist outfits or blending into more complex layered looks.
Care
To maintain the quality and appearance of your Balenciaga Track Sneakers:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the mesh and nylon upper, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a mild, diluted soap solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the material or alter the washed effect.
- Cleaning the Sole: The rubber, EVA, and TPU sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove dirt and debris.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not tumble dry.
- Storage: When not in use, store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a dust bag, to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
- Avoid Submersion: Do not fully submerge the shoes in water, as this can affect the materials and structure.
