Balenciag* Triple S Sneaker 'Black Patent'

Reviewer Victoria A Byington

Wearing these to ymca. Fit is perfect. I bought 1/2 size larger than I normally wear and that worked out well with very roomy toe box that I wanted due to aging toenails.

Reviewer C Adkins

I bought them for my father for Father's Day he said it's the best pair of shoes he's ever owned. He loves them

Reviewer TSQueen

Very comfortable and nice fitting. Very happy with the product.

Reviewer MidnightLunaRose

Very good shoes. The only reason I give it 4 stars is that I expected to be a little slimer. But over all it's a very good and comfortable shoes.

First off, I wear a size 14 in most shoes, including Five Ten Freerider mountain biking shoes. These are only made up to a 13. I heard that they come a little large though and decided to try them out. I'm not sure if this is true across all sizes, but the 13 is more like a 13.75. They ended up fitting me very well. So, be careful on the size.

The main reason I bought these though is that I LOVE the Stealth rubber soles on my MTB shoes and wanted to try out a pair of hiking/approach shoes from Five Ten. Even though the tread pattern doesn't look terribly aggressive, these are the best gripping trail shoes I've owned. They are comfortable all around with a reasonably wide toe box and good cushioning at the top of the tongue and under the ankle. The soles are stiff and took a little while to break in. I still wouldn't say they've "softened" all that much though. The bottom of the shoe is pretty stiff and the inner sole is not very cushy. They are comfortable for wearing all day though. I recently traveled with them for 10 days as my only pair of shoes both walking around town and hiking. So, they're fine. If you like a soft sole or lots of padding though, these are definitely not for you.

The only complaint I have is that these shoes do not breathe well at all. They're mostly a soft leather with a little bit of mesh. The mesh is thick though. My feet get hot in lots of shoes, but these are very hot. The flip side is that they do a decent job of keeping moisture out. During rainy hikes, my feet have stayed pretty dry. For me, the durability is nice. I've beaten up a lot of shoes hiking and I can tell these are going to hold up well. They're very well made and solid.

Overall, I really like these shoes. You just have to be good with the tradeoffs. They choose durability, grip and stiffness over being lightweight and breathable. And I feel like I should repeat that they are not cushy. They have stiff soles, but flex enough to walk around in all day no matter what the terrain. Give them a try if that's what you're after.

Canvas is very comfortable. The sole padding is outstanding.

These shoes are just like the ones you see in the dollar store, only the quality is far better. I liked the fact the soles were a bit thicker, and that the insoles were cushiony and comfortable. The best part about these shoes is that they are made of canvas, and are great for art projects-specifically for painting. I use an acrylic paint, and it applies so nicely to the shoe. The sizing is close to American sizing, albeit just a tad narrower. They wash well, and hold up fairly well as a daily wear. Not a bad deal at all on these kicks!

I purchased these for a recent vacation to The Mid Gulf Coast of Texas. They were so comfortable, couldn't tell I had them on. The footbed gives just the right amount of support. I wore them fo 18 hrs several days.

Lovely sneaker.
Sizing runs a little bit big.

Reviewer Deborah Post

I ordered a 13 was to small, didn’t like the feel of the sneaker trying to replace my sketchers.
