Full details
The Balenciaga Truck Derby is designed for fashion-conscious adults seeking a blend of classic derby shoe elements with a modern, street-ready aesthetic.

Troubleshooting
Scuff marks on the 'used effect' outsole.
The 'used effect' is a deliberate design feature. Minor marks are part of the intended aesthetic. For significant damage, consult a leather specialist.
Leather creasing or stiffness.
Wear the shoes regularly to allow the leather to naturally conform to your foot. Use a leather conditioner specifically designed for calfskin if stiffness persists, following product instructions.
Sizing seems incorrect.
These shoes are true to size in European sizing. Refer to the brand's specific sizing chart and compare with your foot measurement if unsure. Consider trying them on if possible.
Discoloration on the leather.
This could be due to exposure to heat, sunlight, or improper cleaning. Avoid direct sunlight and heat. If discoloration is due to a stain, consult a professional leather cleaner.
