Pros

· Listing describes a PU upper for a comfortable, close fit and sweat management.
· Listing describes a rubber, anti-slip, wear-resistant outsole.
· Wide listed size run, EU 38–46, with 39–45 specified.
· Listing states the mold is exclusive to this production.

Cons

· Community sizing reports conflict — true to size versus sizing down 1–2 sizes — so fit is a genuine risk on this model.
· Wearers report the slides silhouette suits narrower feet, with wider feet and lower arches reportedly looking and feeling worse.

Fit notes

The listing covers EU 38–46, with 39–45 specified. Community reports conflict: commenters in a QC thread call Balenciaga slides true to size and advise against sizing down, while a community sizing guide calls the slides fit very roomy and suggests going down 1–2 sizes. One wearer who normally takes EU 44.5–45 found the largest size, EU 44, tight. Ask the seller for insole length.

Buy if

You want a casual blue slide in a PU upper with a rubber anti-slip outsole, and you are willing to confirm the size chart, insole length, and sole material with the seller first, since community sizing reports conflict.

Skip if

You want a fit you can rely on without checking measurements, or you have wide feet or low arches — wearers report the slides silhouette suits narrower foot shapes better and looks and feels worse on wider, flatter feet.

Common questions

How do Balenciaga slides fit?⌄

What should I inspect on the sole?⌄

Checking guidance for Balenciaga slides describes TPU soles for flexibility and durability, and flags soles that are too stiff or too soft, plus uneven or unfinished stitching. This listing instead describes a rubber outsole, so ask the seller which material it is.
