A luxury European brand, Balenciaga is something special. The brand’s fashion sneakers refuse to conform, neither in their looks nor in the size and fit department.
With its sizing based on the EU scheme, there is a high chance that your regular US size will differ in Balenciaga.
Based on the brands’ official size charts, Balenciaga requires to size down from Nike or Adidas in men’s models. As for the women’s, there is only about a half-size difference.

Each Balenciaga model is unique. That’s why any general recommendation should be taken with a grain of salt.
There is a high-top, sock-like style like the Speed Trainer. Its laceless design gives a snug, close-fitting wrap which may convince people with wider feet and ankles to size up.
Then there is the Triple S Trainer that offers a roomier fit. However, its chunky sole can make the heel hold a bit insecure.
For more guidance on each Balenciaga model, we recommend checking the information on their respective product pages.

Balenciaga and Dior sneaker sizes are generally considered one size larger. This means that if you normally wear a US size 10, you may want to choose a size 9 for a better fit and comfort.
Some people have complained about the small fit of Balenciaga shirts in the past, but that issue is not as prevalent today. The fit of a Balenciaga shirt also depends on the type of shirt and whether it's a man's or a woman's top. To determine how the brand's clothing will fit you, it is best to try it on.
On the US, you subtract 1.5. So a woman who wears a size 10 would wear an 8.5 in men's shoes. If I wear a size 12 shoe in men, what is my size in women's shoes?
Typically, women's shoe sizes are approximately 1.5 to 2 sizes larger than men's. As such, a men's size 9 shoe is generally equivalent to a women's size 10.5 or 11 shoe.
How do they fit? The Balenciaga Triple S fits pretty big so make sure you go a full size down! Interestingly though, I have a 39 in EU which is a 5 in UK, 39 is a 6 in Nike, so if you go by European sizes then go true to size.
The "fit" model begins the fashion process: designer outfits are created around a live, in-house skeleton. Few designers have a curvy or petite fit model. These collections are then sent to the runway, worn by tall, pin-thin models because that's the way the designer wants to see the clothes fall.

The general consensus is that most Balenciaga sneakers size up a little big, so it might be worth dropping down a half size or full size from your regular measurements.
