Product Information
Full details
The Isabel Marant Balskee trainers are designed for fashion-forward adults who seek a blend of luxury aesthetics and urban functionality in their daily footwear. These wedge sneakers provide a distinct silhouette that elevates casual outfits, offering a sophisticated look without compromising on comfort. While their oversized design and bold geometric detailing make them a standout statement piece, potential users should note that the wedge construction may require an adjustment period for those accustomed to flat-soled athletic shoes.

FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for running?
No, the Balskee series is categorized as a fashion-forward lifestyle sneaker and is not designed for running or high-impact athletic use.
How should I clean the suede portions?
Use a dry suede brush to remove dirt. For deeper stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner, but always test it on a small, inconspicuous area first.
Do the trainers fit true to size?
The Balskee trainers generally follow standard sizing. If you prefer to wear thick socks, you may want to consider this when selecting your UK size.
Can the insole be removed?
The leather insole is typically integrated into the design. We recommend using the provided insole for the best comfort and support.
Are these shoes waterproof?
They are not waterproof. We recommend applying a suede-safe protective spray to help repel light water splashes, but they should be kept out of heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Velcro closure loses stickiness
Use a pair of tweezers to carefully remove lint, hair, or debris from the hooks of the Velcro surface.
Suede appears dull or matted
Use a specialized suede brush or a clean, dry toothbrush to gently brush the nap in one direction to restore its texture.
Visible scuffs on rubber outsole
Use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to gently wipe away surface scuffs from the rubber parts of the sole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Balskee trainers maintain their appearance, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dust and dirt from the suede surface regularly. Avoid exposing the shoes to heavy rain or moisture, as water can damage the suede texture and cause color transfer. If you get a stain, use a specialized suede cleaner and apply it gently. For the best fit, ensure the Velcro straps are aligned correctly to maintain the integrity of the closure. Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading, and use shoe trees if you intend to store them for long periods to preserve the structured silhouette.
