Balenciaga Sliders - Black - UK 12

Yes, the Balenciaga Pool Slide Sandal is made from 100% Recycled TPU, making it highly water-resistant and suitable for poolside environments, beaches, and light water exposure. However, they are not designed for extensive use as swimming footwear.

These slides are a UK size 12. To ensure a proper fit, measure your foot length and compare it to standard UK shoe sizing guides. The molded footbed is designed for a snug, comfortable fit without feeling too tight or too loose.

While comfortable for leisure, these slides are primarily designed for casual wear, resort settings, and light walking. They are not intended for long-distance walking, running, or high-impact athletic activities, which require more structured and supportive footwear.

TPU stands for Thermoplastic Polyurethane. It's a durable, flexible, and often recyclable material known for its resistance to abrasion, oils, and grease. In these slides, it provides water resistance, comfort, and longevity.

Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally away from direct sunlight or extreme heat, which can affect the TPU material. Keeping them in their original box or a dust bag can help protect them from dust and damage.

The 3D logo is designed for durability. With proper care, including gentle cleaning and avoiding harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing, the logo should maintain its appearance over time. Avoid picking at the logo.

While the footbed is molded for comfort, initial wear might require an adjustment period. Ensure the size is correct. If discomfort persists, consider adding a thin, non-slip insert if space allows.

Gently clean the logo with a soft, damp cloth and a very mild soap solution. Avoid scrubbing harshly to prevent damage to the 3D detailing. For stubborn marks, a soft-bristled brush can be used with care.

New TPU products can sometimes have a manufacturing odor. Air out the sandals in a well-ventilated area for a few days. Ensure they are completely dry after use to prevent bacterial growth, which can cause odors.

While the TPU sole offers reasonable grip, like any footwear, extreme caution should be exercised on very wet or slippery surfaces. Walk slowly and be mindful of your steps.

This can be caused by exposure to direct sunlight or certain chemicals. Ensure proper storage away from direct sun. Regular cleaning with mild soap can help maintain the material's original finish.
