Oh boy, let’s talk about these Balenciaga tire shoes. I’d been eyeing them for a while, seeing them all over my social media feeds. You know, the usual hype train. Everyone was going crazy for them, and I thought, “Why not?” So, I decided to get a pair.
First off, I looked at some styling ideas online. I saw some people pairing them with skirts and dresses, which I thought was cool. But honestly, I’m more of a jeans and a tee kind of guy. I did see some suggestions to wear them with skinny jeans and a hoodie, so I thought I’d give that a shot.
Then came the tricky part – figuring out the size. I read that Balenciaga shoes can be all over the place size-wise, which is kind of annoying, to be honest. They’re supposed to fit large, but you never really know until you try them on. I went to a local store that had them in stock and tried on a few sizes.
Once I finally got the right size, I started wearing them around. The first thing I noticed was how chunky they are. I mean, I love chunky sneakers, but these are on another level. I’d heard that the Triple S model is heavy, but these tire shoes are pretty hefty too. They do give you a bit of a height boost, which is nice, but I wouldn’t recommend them for a long day of walking.
Styling them was easier than I thought.
- I started with a simple outfit: an oversized white tee, baggy light blue jeans, and the tire shoes. It worked pretty well. The shoes definitely stood out, but in a good way.
- Next, I tried the skinny jeans and hoodie combo. It was a bit more streetwear-ish, which I liked. The shoes still looked good, but they felt a bit more balanced with the tighter jeans.
One thing I noticed is that people definitely check out your shoes when you wear these. They’re hard to miss. I got a few compliments, which was cool. I also tried wearing them with some different colored socks, just to see how they’d look. Stacking accessories like socks with shoes seems to be a trend, so I wanted to try it out. It was interesting, but I’m not sure if it’s my style.
Overall Impression
So, after wearing the Balenciaga tire shoes for a while, I have some mixed feelings. They’re definitely a statement piece, and they can make an outfit look more interesting. But they’re not the most comfortable shoes, and they’re pretty expensive. I don’t regret buying them, but I wouldn’t say they’re a must-have. They’re more of a “if you’re into that kind of thing” kind of shoe. If you like chunky, attention-grabbing sneakers and you don’t mind the price, then you might like them. But if you’re looking for something practical and comfortable, these probably aren’t it.
At the end of the day, it was a fun experiment. I enjoyed trying out different styles and seeing how people reacted to the shoes. Would I buy another pair of Balenciaga sneakers? Maybe. They have a lot of interesting designs, but I’d probably do more research on the comfort level before committing to another pair. For now, I’ll keep rocking the tire shoes occasionally, but they won’t be my everyday go-to.
