Balenciag* Track Sneaker 'Turquoise'

Reviewer I Kleiner

I have the black swede shoes. They could easily be mistaken for canvas, but they are indeed black swede. Very classic look. Plain and simple, which I quite like. They have really nice arch support inside, which often is not the case. Some padding around the ankle, as well as the footbed, though not a ton. They are still quite comfortable. A little bit heavy as the sole is rubber. Not a lot of tread on the bottom, but some. These shoes are Made in China, so kind of pricey at seventy-five bucks, but nice, casual shoes overall.

It is difficult to find white, leather mens all purpose cross training shoes good for walking, etc. these Swiss made shoes are excellent! They are fairly light weight, great looking, true to size, very comfortable, and super well made. The seams are double sown and frankly I bought them for my husband after trying several other American brands that were way more expensive and we highly recommend these over them.

Well worth the price!

They were alright/good for the first 6 months. There are two things I don't like about this shoe. They used a pink open cell foam under the insole that will get very petrydish like if/when you replace the insole. I wish they used closed cell foam and used a built in antimicrobial like microban silver phosphate. The tread makes a squeeling sound when walking on ceramic tile/marble it's somewhat embarrassing when your the only one with squeeking shoes at work. They are comfortable easy to put on I just wish they fixed those things & generally designed it to last longer instead of being a throw away item.

The fit of these slip on sneakers is true to size. I got a pair in size 11, and my size 11 foot fits just fine. The fit is better with socks on but even without socks the sneaker has a decent fit (there's some lifting of the heel when not wearing socks but it's not excessive or troublesome).

They are surprisingly comfortable. There's padding that provides reasonable support. They are all plastic in construction which makes them perfect as a garden shoe since I can just hose them off when they get muddy. They are also great for around the house and running errands. I like that they are slip ons, which makes it quick and easy to put on/take off. However, these would not be my first choice for taking long walks -- I prefer lace up shoes for that to provide better support.

The only area that was somewhat disappointing is the sole. The manufacturer claims they are non-slip and that's true when walking on a rough surface, such as a sidewalk. Even in the rain these felt sure footed outside. However, on smooth surfaces, such as a wet tile floor, I didn't get that sure footed feeling. I didn't fall (at least not yet) but I have to be more mindful when walking compared with other shoes that have a softer, more grippy sole. The sole on these shoes is rather hard and unyielding. That's good for making the shoe last a long time without wearing out, but not so good for grip.

The sole drops my score to 4.5 stars but I'll round up to 5 since everything else about these sneakers hits the mark. They fit well and are comfortable, practical shoes. The styling is nothing to shout about, but as long as my feet are happy, I don't care what they look like!

AWESOME!!! My husband has neuropathy and skechers have absolutely been a blessing.

Reviewer Synner

I have big feet and these shoes are nice, light, soft. My only complaint is they are a little narrow. Setting shoe tree in them now to make a bit wider, or just more use should do it, otherwise 5 stars.

I've been running with New Balance shoes for years and found them to be the best. What I didn't realize is that they make such comfortable shoes for everyday wear. I spend a lot of time standing and walking on my job; I also have plantar fasciitis due to high arch and physical stress on my feet. I've tried pretty much everything from running shoes to walking shoes, as well as hi-end Clark's, and different arch supports. NB 801 are by far the most comfortable. They provide outstanding cushioning and support; you can easily slip them off for few minutes, and they look well-made. For the first time in years my fasciitis is not aggravated after hours of standing. I will get a second pair for traveling.

I will first say that I love the look of these shoes! The worn in look is amazing and very well designed - giving these shoes a very lived in kind of feel.

The shoes look sharp but, this is where the kudos end. The shoes are indeed leather and did take some time to get used to and actually wear in. Once I had stretched them, they were more comfortable than their initial outings but, they are extremely narrow on my feet and have a slight sole - making them not the most comfortable shoes in the world. The length, shoe sizing is spot on at a 10 but, the narrowness definitely takes away from the overall feel of them. I guess it’s true when they say that amazing fashion will have to hurt sometimes.

I would recommend on the look alone and not the feel.

Reviewer Brenda B Aschenbach

Yeah, old school sneakers! I read the other reviews and noticed that several mentioned that they ran 1/2 size to small, so I ordered the next size larger and the width is perfect. Thank goodness, I was getting tired of looking for shoes that fit in the shoe stores
