Unfortunately not yet! I didn’t want to wear them to the grocery store so they are still, sadly, waiting in my shoe cabinet. How did you find yours? Did you end up wearing them out? I think it’s usually better to have them looser rather than too tight!

No, I didn’t wear them as they didn’t go with the dress I was wearing - lol! We’ve got a few nice days ahead so I will definitely wear them soon.

I'm not sure what you mean by having two people look for you. One boutique SA should be able to search all Chanel boutiques, so maybe you have a boutique SA and a dept store SA (e.g. Saks) looking for you.

If you are not using a Chanel boutique SA, try Bellagio... I've always had good luck there with finding hard to find shoes and the SA will look at the computer. I love the slingbacks and have several pairs. They literally go with everything, from work outfits to skinny jeans.

Another option which I am now beginning to do is call Chanel customer service. Let them know the shoe and your size, and they will actually tell you what stores have it in stock. I then had the option for the store to call me or me to call the store directly. It has worked great for me, and I've used this process three times (once on white with black cap toe slingbacks that were nearly impossible to find).

Good luck to you!

Thank you so much for this great advice! To clarify, I have my Nordstrom designer shoes gal looking for me, as well as my SA at Chanel. I already own slingbacks, so I know that I need a 7.5. They are apparently in short supply in that size/color combo right now! Really appreciate the feedback. :smile:

Does anybody with wide feet own the slingbacks? Recently bought a pair (beige/black) two days ago, I bought a 38 since the 39 was too big on me. Do you ever need to wear them on/off to stretch the toe box? My toe nail beds got small blisters from rubbing against it while I walked for 4 hours. :whut: I love the way they look on me so I won’t be returning them at all

I have wide feet and I own these shoes. They are my only designer shoes together with my chanel espadrilles because I often return or give away shoes because they hurt my wide feet or I just keep them in their boxes and never wear… I am size 38 and I got these in 39, I find them actually very comfortable compared to many pumps or slingbacks I tried before.

@mocchi07, the slingbacks come in half size too. I usually wear 37 but for Chanel I wear 37.5. Because they are new shoes, I recommend to warp small bandages around your toes while wearing them. After worn some days, the shoes will fit better and your toes will feel better too. Hope it helps.

Thanks for the advice! My SA was looking for the 38.5 and couldn’t find them either. The beige is my favorite colorway so I was desperate lol. I’ll try bandaging my toes until the leather stretches a bit

I would try the 38.5. The toe box will not stretch a lot, and if you are already getting blisters, you may not wear them as often. Since you just got them, tell your SA they are too tight and you want to try the 38.5. I have four pairs and can walk all day in them. They are super comfy to me, and I would say my feet are on the wide side. They are very slimming.

Just got these and I love them! Question for those who have these, do you spray them with anything? Also, do they get a little loose/softer with wear? I ask because it’s a litttttle tight for me in the front but the next size is completely sold out.
