Balenciaga | Shoes | Balenciaga Phantom Sneaker Washed In 。these are absolutely fabulous immaculate italian quality and craftsmanship, even the shoelaces are soft and supple the distressed worn in look is stupdenous and pairs very nicely with leather or denim pants the tongue is thick and gussetted with elastic on each side for a much nicer fit, they also provide a great place to tuck the shoelaces into if you decide not to tie them as an added bonus, this provides a sufficient way to wear them without shoelaces better than any other running shoe you will ever get your hands on from your typical sportswear company it\'s not often I rave about a sneaker, but I like these a lot... and I believe you will too the comfort is unreal, you absolutely need a pair regardless Balenciaga sizing can be a bit tricky, but these are pretty straight forward they are an EU size 43 they fit about a half size large I wear a true size 44 in all European sneakers and these fit me like a sock would, no pain whatsoever they are a bit short on the length of the toe, which leads me to believe they fit about a size 43.5 in EU sizing they are actually a bit more pink in person, as the light was shinning through the curtains. I wasn\'t able to capture the true colors, I might have to retake photographs at a later date
