Balenciaga men's and women's size chart

A luxury European brand, Balenciaga is something special. The brand’s fashion trainers refuse to conform, neither in their looks nor in the size and fit department.

With its sizing based on the EU scheme, there is a high chance that your regular US size will differ in Balenciaga.

That’s why it will be of great advantage to know your exact foot length before purchasing a pair.

How various Balenciaga trainers fit

Each Balenciaga model is unique. That’s why any general recommendation should be taken with a grain of salt.

There is a high-top, sock-like style like the Speed Trainer. Its laceless design gives a snug, close-fitting wrap which may convince people with wider feet and ankles to size up. 

Then there is the Triple S Trainer that offers a roomier fit. However, its chunky sole can make the heel hold a bit insecure.

For more guidance on each Balenciaga model, we recommend checking the information on their respective product pages.
