Its the perfect mixture of high fashion and trendy dad shoes review

Who should buy the Balenciaga Track LED Trainers

Sporting the perfect balance between the classic dad shoes and a futuristic look, these conversation starters are definitely a cop if you’re into:

• Multi-layered kicks that fit really well and have a wide enough toe box that lets your toes move around
• Rechargeable LED lights
• Running-inspired trainers that could literally light up the room.

Who shouldn’t buy it

If you’re into futuristic-looking dad shoes but don't want to give up an arm and a leg, the Adidas Ozelia lets you keep your body parts intact. For lighter kicks that offer the same fit and comfort as these trainers, the OG non-LED version, the Balenciaga Track Trainers would be a solid pick. Also, for happy feet all day, the Balenciaga Runner has unquestionable comfort. 

More expensive than the non-LED version

A Balenciaga fan mentioned how these “fit the same as any other Track Balenciaga.” The true-to-size fit and the wide-foot-friendly toebox were also appreciated by many experts. Another reviewer appreciated how well-padded these are on the heel counter as they mentioned how these are “nice and cushioned in the back.”

According to a critic, the Balenciaga Track LED is a pair of unique kicks that are “comfortable, but you cannot wear them all day.” Another sneakerhead added to this, saying that “these are a lot stiffer than the Yeezy 700s.”

Other experts shared their thoughts on the removable gel insoles as one mentioned that kicksters using these should “keep [their] insoles in because if you take them off, they are uncomfortable.” 

Minor durability issue for the Balenciaga Track LED Trainers

As opposed to the non-LED version where many users complained about how excess stitching was visible, these futuristic kicks are “very structurally sound,” as mentioned by a critic. However, a fair number of buyers have noticed how one of their shoes wouldn’t light up anymore after some time.

LED makes these kicks lit

These running-inspired kicks aren’t just excellent with a pair of baggy or skinny dark-colored pants to complete the casual outfit, these are also great for the outdoors. According to a critic, these are “like all-terrain shoes”; they mentioned how “these are amazing for the snow.” 

The Balenciaga Track LED Trainers are heavy

Because these futuristic kicks are powered by Lithium-ion batteries, an expert mentioned how “these are heavy because of the batteries but they look great.” Another reviewer seconded this as they said “these are very, very heavy shoes.”

Sneakerheads were hyped about the LED version of the Balenciaga Track Trainers. One expert was all in on this as they said, "These are so convincing, it's like you put them on, it's like I got superpowers now.” 

Another then suggested: “I’m surprised that they didn't make these where you can walk in them and that charge it.” 

However, a critic mentioned how “it’s kinda hard to charge due to the charging port location” which you can find near the ankle of the shoe.

Dad shoes from the future

These low-top kicks are “very chunky and very big” according to a sneakerhead. But this isn’t necessarily bad as another critic said, "Every time I wear these shoes I get tons of compliments.” According to those who follow the dad shoe trend:

• “These are like ‘cool guy’ dad Skechers.”
• “It’s the perfect mixture of high fashion and trendy dad shoes.” 
• “They do remind me of an upscaled Skechers light-up shoe for adults.”

An expert mentioned that “these may not be for everyone as some people may think ‘it’s too chunky, it's weird, or the price is just too ridiculous.” 

Ridiculously expensive

Speaking of price, if the Balenciaga Track Trainers were already an “extremely expensive” pair of kicks at $1000, these come in at an even higher price point at $1350. This makes it almost 30% more expensive than the average price of low-top Balenciaga kicks. These sneakers are not cheap and many experts agree on this.
