Full details
The Isabel Marant Balskee trainers are designed for fashion-conscious adults looking to blend high-end luxury with an urban, everyday aesthetic.

FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for running?
No, the Balskee trainers are designed as fashion footwear and are not intended for running or high-impact athletic activities.
How do I choose the right size?
These trainers follow standard adult UK sizing; however, since they are structured, ensure you verify your fit against standard sizing charts to ensure enough room for comfort.
Can I clean these in a washing machine?
Do not machine wash these trainers. Suede is a delicate material that can be ruined by excessive water and agitation.
What is the primary material used?
The Balskee trainers feature premium suede leather, which provides a sophisticated, matte finish.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, they are not waterproof. We recommend applying a suede-safe water repellent spray if you intend to wear them in damp conditions.
How do I style these for a formal event?
Pair them with tailored, cropped trousers or an elegant midi-skirt to balance the chunky aesthetic of the sneaker with a sharper silhouette.
Troubleshooting
Surface dust or lint accumulation on suede
Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift and remove surface particles.
Small water spots on the material
Allow the suede to dry completely and then brush the nap in one direction to restore its texture.
Scuffs on the sole unit
Wipe the rubber or synthetic portions of the sole with a slightly damp, lint-free cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Isabel Marant Balskee trainers remain in top condition, proper care is essential. Given the suede exterior, keep the shoes away from prolonged exposure to heavy rain or mud, as moisture can damage the texture. Use a soft-bristled brush specifically designed for suede to gently remove surface dust or dry dirt after each use. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading. If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, avoiding heat sources like radiators, which can cause the material to harden or shrink.
