Balenciaga Trainers

I know these won't be everyone's cup of tea, but I have fallen in love with these trainers after seeing them on someone else but I absolutely cannot justify the cost.

Anyone seen anything a similar style? Ideally in a brighter colour than the ones in the pic!

Not the same colour but have seen similar on a Facebook page. Maybe you could contact and ask for stockist.

I did exactly the same thing... spotted the Balenciaga ones on someone but couldn’t justify the cost! I found some similar style ones from Lola Cruz that I love. They’re not super cheap but are really well made and still cheaper than Balenciaga. They have the similar flap over the laces too.

The Santa Rosa style is most similar

I know that store posted so I can confirm it is genuine and not a dodgy Facebook page. There are quite a few independent local clothes places I’ve seen selling them. Ted Baker also have a pair just now which I really like but are obviously dearer.

Sorry I didn’t mean that titsbumfannythelot was posting you dodgy Facebook pages, that came out wrong...just that I know random things pop up on newsfeeds sometimes!

There are loads of these style trainers in The Triangle shopping mall in Liverpool.

The runners?

I have the balenciaga ones worn them about 4 times. Most uncomfy shoes ever. Flat hard soles. Nightmare!

You aren't missing out at all.

dancingqueen345 · 29/03/2018 12:03

@Littlelondoner well if you're a size 7 I'll happily take them off your hands! 😂

BigFatBloomers · 30/03/2018 08:22

dancingqueen345 · 30/03/2018 09:11

@BigFatBloomers went to Office today and tried them on, quality looked amazing but I wasn't brave enough to buy them!

Oh no! You should get them if you love them.

FlibbertyGiblets · 31/03/2018 12:49

Queen. You love them, they fit, go get them. Go on. Look, here's my keys, take my car. Shoo.

dancingqueen345 · 31/03/2018 17:49
