I think your foot will hit the lip when you are in motion. IMO only, I would wait for the 37, esp if you are a 37.5 ballet.

Thank you! I’ve been pacing a little at home and it feels ok, but of course that’s so different from really walking. When I first bought the ballet and loafer the SA did the same thing was convincing me that 37 is my size then I went up to 37.5 and was much better. This isn’t the same as it’s not tight or painful but I would like to have the peace of mind to know I got the right size. The 37.5 was definitely too big. Do you know if these are really hard to get (she reached out kind of randomly after checking them out with her in May).
Great to hear on the fit! I bought mine back in January and haven’t seen them in my store since then.
The mark looks like glue, and that should easily come off. If your SA has your size in this new shipment, you can always compare for peace of mind.
Also, not to get off topic, but I purchased a pair of Chypres over the weekend, and they fit great! Very similar vibe and very comfortable.

Do these have as much as arch support as Birkenstocks? I have a neuroma and I am told to only wear shoes with a lot of arch support and wide toe box and no heels sadly for a the next few months. I have such high arch that it likely caused the issue from wearing Orans all the time with no arch support. TIA!
I don't think so. In fact quite uncomfortable in the beginning, at least to me.
I don't own Orans but they are definitely not flat like the Orans, just not Birkenstock arch support level.
I don't think that Dad sandals have a ton of arch support, but I feel like it's on par with Birkenstocks (not less based on how my feet feel). Dad sandals were comfortable to wear right away and I am able to walk in them for hours without issues. I like orans too, but I can definitely see how they can cause issues. My heels started hurting when I wear Orans for more than 30 mins of walking.
I just got a classic black with LGHW and a back strap from NM. It's a REV style, but I haven't seen them in boutiques—they only tend to have seasonal versions. I'd try NM, Saks, or other department stores in your city that carry Chanel shoes. They receive them regularly.
Hi everyone, I know this hasn’t been posted on for a while so hope someone can help!
I have the dad sandal with the back strap in a 37.5 which fits length wise but I have wide feet which have become wider since I had my son and they are too narrow. I have found a pair of black dad without the back strap which I have been looking for for a while in 38.5. As it doesn’t have the back strap does it matter if there is a bigger gap at the back of the foot? And does anyone know how much difference 1 size is in chanel? I think they’d be much better on width but worried about them being too long. Unfortunately I do not live by a store and these are from a personal shopper so I can’t return.

Hope this helps. I have two pair of dad sandals from a few years ago, classic black and a rose gold. Those are both 38. I have the pink from last summer that had more and thinner straps and those are a 37.5. I bought the beige clair backless ones a week ago and I took a 38. My feet are narrow however, so not sure if that helps your decision.
