Quick verdict

A tall pull-on EVA boot in Balenciaga's collaboration line, cut in whole sizes 35–45 with a round toe, embossed logo and 20mm arch. Fit reports from the same tall EVA construction split between true to size and running large, so settle your size before ordering. Those reports are line-level, not reviews of this exact listing.

Pros

  • · Round-toe EVA boot with embossed logo at the toe, size detail at the heel, and wipe-with-a-soft-cloth care.
  • · Whole sizes 35–45 keep a broad range covered.
  • · Line-level reviewers describe the boot as comfortable for extended wear and comparable to Hunter rain boots.
  • · One Google Shopping reviewer calls them true to size with room for wide feet.

Cons

  • · Fit reports conflict: aggregates say runs large and wide, while other sources and buyers say true to size.
  • · One reviewer reported the foot sliding even at their normal size and needing double socks.
  • · The platform construction is described as somewhat heavy by one buyer review.
  • · A Nordstrom reviewer noted a rubbery sound while walking.

Fit notes

Reports conflict. Bloomingdale's aggregates the line as runs large and runs wide; Mytheresa advises one size down and calls the last wide; Mr Porter says true to size, full sizes only, half sizes going down. Some buyers took their normal size, while one found even that too big and doubled socks.

Buy if

You want a wipe-clean EVA rain boot with a wide whole-size run, and you're comfortable settling fit from line-level reports rather than one clear answer. The reported generous, wide last tends to suit wider feet, and sizing down one is a common suggestion.

Skip if

You need a half size, since the line is offered in whole sizes only and half-size wearers are advised to drop to the nearest whole size. Or you want a single unambiguous fit verdict — the published reports disagree with each other.

Buying FAQ

Common questions

Are these boots true to size?⌄

The reports split. Bloomingdale's aggregates the same tall EVA boot as running large and wide and Mytheresa advises sizing down, while Mr Porter and some buyers call it true to size. If you are between sizes or want a closer fit, going down one size is the more commonly given advice.

Are half sizes available?⌄

The catalog lists whole sizes 35 to 45, and Mr Porter's listing for this boot line states only full sizes are offered, advising half-size wearers to take the nearest whole size down.

Are they comfortable to wear all day?⌄

Line-level reviews are positive on comfort — one shopper rated them highly after a full day out, and a Korean buyer compared them to Hunter rain boots — though that buyer also noted the platform makes them somewhat heavy.

How should these boots be cleaned?⌄

The listing says to wipe them with a soft cloth. The construction is given as rubber with EVA material, which is consistent with the wipe-clean care instruction.

A Nordstrom reviewer of the Balenciaga x Crocs Boot rated the comfort highly ("like walking on a cloud," worn all day at Disneyland) but said the pair felt too big even at their normal Crocs size and required double socks to stop the foot sliding, and that the boots make a rubbery sound when walking.
