Very interesting! Which store did you visit?Interestingly when I recently went to hawaii, the shoe salon is separate and they had a great range of shoes. Most I tried on were C unknowingly. I asked the SA and she mentioned it was the only separate Chanel shoe salon and that they get C for everything. I don’t have an SA there but if it’s feasible to where you live, I would try to get an SA from customer support or from the forum. If you can get an order delivered it might be your best bet?
