FAQs
What material is the Balenciaga Triple S.2 trainer made of?
The upper is primarily made of fabric (polyester), with rubber trim and a rubber sole. The insole is also fabric.
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?
No, the Balenciaga Triple S.2 trainers are designed for fashion and casual wear. Their heavy construction and exaggerated sole are not optimized for athletic performance.
How should I clean the rubber sole?
Wipe the rubber sole with a damp cloth or use a soft brush with a mild soap solution. Specialized rubber cleaners can be used for tougher marks.
What is the purpose of the layered, oversized sole?
The exaggerated, multi-layered sole is a signature design element of the Triple S.2 trainers, contributing to their distinctive chunky aesthetic and providing added height.
Do these trainers come in different colors?
While this specific model is described as "Black/Dark Grey", Balenciaga often releases the Triple S.2 in various colorways. Please check available stock for other options.
What size is UK 12 in this model?
UK 12 refers to a specific men's foot size. It's recommended to consult a size chart for precise foot measurements to ensure the best fit, as sizing can vary between brands.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing or spot cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method to maintain the integrity of the materials and construction.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too heavy
The Triple S.2 trainers are intentionally designed with a substantial sole. Allow for a break-in period as your feet adjust. If the weight remains uncomfortable for prolonged wear, consider them more for short outings or stylistic purposes.
Sole is dirty or scuffed
Use a damp cloth or a soft brush with a mild soap solution to gently clean the rubber sole. For stubborn scuffs, a specialized rubber cleaner might be effective. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
Fabric upper appears discolored
Ensure the trainers are not exposed to prolonged direct sunlight, which can cause fading. Spot clean gently with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary.
Laces are worn or dirty
Laces can typically be removed and hand-washed with mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing. Replacement laces can be purchased separately.
