Balenciaga Strike Lace-Up Boots
Community verdict
Balenciaga Strike Lace-Up Boots deliver a distinct, highly sought-after aesthetic with strong long-term versatility, particularly in the leather variation. Owners consistently praise their striking hand-distressed look and durable construction once fully worn in. However, buyers frequently report a harsh initial break-in period, downward pressure on the instep, and sizing that tends to run large.

Love these. Good quality with the natural looking distressing
Overall definitely one of my favourite pieces and was definitely worth it for the price just because I do get to wear these way more than other...
Boots need breaking in. It will be uncomfortable until you work the leather to move with your foot.
I bought these Strike Boots just 2–3 weeks ago, and the sole started coming off from the upper.
