Genuine Balenciaga slides are noted as using a TPU (rubber-plastic hybrid) sole, and buyers checking quality are advised to treat a sole that is too stiff or too soft and uneven/unfinished stitching as warning signs.

View QC PhotosQuick verdict
A gray slip-on slide described in the catalog with a PU upper and a rubber anti-slip outsole, listed in sizes 38–46. The available buyer claims cover Balenciaga slides generally rather than this listing, and they disagree on fit. Ask the seller for footbed length and confirmed stock sizes before ordering.

Pros
- · Catalog describes a PU upper intended to sit close to the foot and handle sweat.
- · Listing specifies a rubber anti-slip, abrasion-resistant outsole.
- · Slip-on slide format with a broad stated size range of 38–46, with 39–45 shown in the spec line.
- · Neutral gray colorway suited to casual, easygoing wear.
Cons
- · Slide-specific fit reports conflict: some wearers find Balenciaga slides slightly too big, while others report the strap feeling snug over a molded footbed.
- · The claims available are brand- and category-level, so none of the fit or quality descriptions can be tied to this particular listing.
Fit notes
Brand-level guidance says Balenciaga footwear runs roomy, with half- to full-size-down advice common. Slides get mixed reports: some find them slightly too big, one buyer with a 44.5/45 foot ordered a 44 and called it true to size, and others find the strap snug. Request footbed measurements.
Buy if
You want a casual gray slip-on and are willing to confirm footbed length and actual stock sizes with the seller first, since the slide-specific fit reports range from too big to snug across the strap.
Skip if
You want to pick a size from a chart alone. Sizes are listed as 38–46 while the spec line shows 39–45, and there is no listing-specific buyer feedback to settle the fit question.

Buying FAQ
Common questions
Do Balenciaga slides run big?⌄
Brand-level guidance is that Balenciaga footwear runs roomy, but slide-specific buyer reports conflict — some say slightly too big, while one buyer with a 44.5/45 foot ordered a 44 and considered it true to size.
Which size should I order?⌄
The claims do not support a single answer. Ask the seller for footbed length and confirm which sizes are actually in stock, since the listing shows 38–46 while the spec line lists 39–45.
What is the sole made of?⌄
The listing describes a rubber anti-slip, abrasion-resistant outsole, while buyer-facing guidance on genuine Balenciaga slides cites a TPU (rubber-plastic hybrid) sole. Confirm the material with the seller if that matters to you.
What should I look at on arrival?⌄
Guidance on genuine slides treats a sole that is too stiff or too soft, plus uneven or unfinished stitching, as points worth checking.
Are there reviews for this exact listing?⌄
No. The available claims are brand- and category-level, so their fit and quality descriptions cannot be matched to this specific item.
Evidence
Public notes used
Across the Balenciaga line, most footwear runs large/roomy, so buyers often size down half a size (sometimes a full size) from their normal sneaker size.
SourceBuyer reports for Balenciaga slides specifically are inconsistent: some find them slightly too big, while a rep buyer with a 44.5/45 foot ordered a 44 and said they are true to size and should not be sized down.
SourceSome wearers report Balenciaga slides actually feel snug or tight across the strap because of the molded footbed and firm straps, contradicting the brand's usual oversized fit.
SourceChinese-language buyer discussion also reports Balenciaga models running about one size large (e.g. Speed 2.0 said to be 偏大一码), so fit should be checked per model rather than assumed.
