This listing describes a gray PU-upper slide on a rubber outsole, with the seller listing sizes 39–45 against a stated 38–46 run. What buyers report about Balenciaga slides generally is split: some say half a size small, others true to size. Confirm sizing with your agent before ordering.

Pros
Cons
Fit notes
Reports conflict. Chinese sizing roundups put Balenciaga leather footwear about half a size small, and one 37.5 slide stayed tight through a full summer; a community megathread advises sizing up and calls the fit shallow, while a QC thread says true to size and warns against sizing down. Confirm with the seller.
Buy if
You want a soft-footbed slide with a rubber outsole for casual wear and are willing to confirm size and color with the seller or shopping agent before paying, since fit reports on this silhouette disagree.
Skip if
You need a guaranteed fit from the listing alone, or you wear a size outside the 39–45 range the seller actually lists.
