View QC PhotosQuick verdict
A gray casual slide built on a PU upper and rubber anti-slip outsole, listed across sizes 38–46. Buyer reports concern Balenciaga slides in general, not this listing, and they disagree on fit. Confirm your size with the agent and ask for insole measurements before shipping.
Reference price
$21.64 USD $24.60Final item price, service fees and international shipping are confirmed on the shopping agent's website.
Pros
- · Catalog lists a PU upper, described as soft and foot-conforming
- · Rubber anti-slip outsole, described as wear-resistant
- · Wide listed size run of 38–46, with 39–45 called out in the specs
- · QC posters describe Balenciaga slides as visually close to retail and comfortable to wear
- · QC buyers report newer Balenciaga slides are fully waterproof
- · Some buyers report slides arriving with original packaging, box and dust bag included
Cons
- · Fit reports conflict: QC guidance says true to size and not to size down, while other community guides warn against ordering a usual size
- · Some buyers who took their true size reported blisters, suggesting a tight break-in
- · Brand-level review complaints about cheap materials and low quality come from Balenciaga retail shoppers, not from records of this listing
Fit notes
Community reports point both ways. QC posters say Balenciaga slides run true to size and warn against sizing down; other guides say the fit differs from standard footwear, and some true-size buyers reported blisters. One compilation notes 41, 42 and 43 can fit similarly. Request an insole measurement from the agent before shipping.
Buy if
You want a gray casual slide with a PU upper and rubber outsole, your size falls in the listed 38–46 range, and you are willing to confirm measurements with the agent before the item ships.
Skip if
You need a settled size answer before ordering, or you cannot wait for the agent to check an insole measurement. Community reports on Balenciaga slide fit conflict, so an unconfirmed size is a gamble.

Buying FAQ
Common questions
Do these slides run true to size?⌄
Buyer reports conflict. QC community posters say Balenciaga slides run true to size, while other community guides caution that many shoppers should not order their usual size, and some true-size buyers reported tightness and blisters.
Should I size down?⌄
QC community buyers advise against sizing down, calling it a common temptation. That guidance is general to Balenciaga slides rather than a check of this listing, so confirm measurements with the agent.
Are they waterproof?⌄
Buyers in QC threads report the newer Balenciaga slides are fully waterproof. The catalog describes a PU upper and a rubber outsole but makes no waterproofing claim of its own.
What materials does the listing describe?⌄
A PU upper described as comfortable and moisture-friendly against the foot, and a rubber anti-slip outsole described as soft, wear-resistant and cushioned underfoot.
Does it arrive with the box and dust bag?⌄
Some buyers report Balenciaga slides arriving with original packaging including box and dust bag. That is a buyer report, not a packaging promise stated in this listing's catalog copy.
What sizes are listed?⌄
The catalog gives a range of 38–46 and separately lists 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44 and 45 as the stocked specifications.
