Which Balzac Paris trainers should you choose?

Choose Quinn trainers to play with textures and prints, Honoré trainers for a laceless option, or Astor trainers for a thick sole.

 

To play with textures: Quinn trainers

The materials used for Quinn trainers vary from one version to another: suede leather, printed pony-effect leather, or suede leather with a grained leather panel. Some versions have a bamboo viscose mesh lining for greater breathability.

 

Our laceless trainers: Honoré with three hook-and-loop straps

Honoré trainers fasten with three hook-and-loop straps, with no laces to tie. Designed for everyday wear, they slip on and off in seconds, while each strap adjusts separately for a secure fit across the top of the foot. No more laces coming undone or needing to be retied during the day.

 

Our thick-soled trainers: Astor

Astor trainers have a thick sole that makes them comfortable for days spent walking. It also adds a little height without a heel and gives a simple outfit more presence, whether worn with jeans or a skirt.

 

What materials are our trainers made from?

Our trainers combine different types of leather depending on the style.

  • Suede leather : on several versions of the Quinn trainers.
  • Pony-effect leather : on certain versions of the Quinn and Honoré trainers.
  • Grained leather : as a panel on certain versions of the Quinn trainers.

For the exact composition of a pair, the style’s Fairly Made information gives a full breakdown of the materials.

 

How to wear low-top trainers?

Our low-top trainers go with a jeans and a simple jumper. With a skirt or a dress, they give the outfit a more relaxed feel.
