Good morning!
I can't decide between the higher heel or the shorter one. Suggestions would be great as I can't decide. Also, any feedback on boots from Chanel, as I have never purchased boots from them before; are they comfy?
Thank you!

Hi! I love these boots, and here are some thoughts to share.

I like the lower heeled style a lot more than the higher. Why?
The lower heel fits more with the heel aesthetic, chunky low heel. I am not a fan of that chunky higher heel as I think it can look dated quickly, and I like my boots to last (in case that matters to you).

Other thoughts...
Chanel boots are very comfy to wear, and the leather is nice and thick (vs. the thin ballet leather). The shoe is very durable.

I can't tell for sure from the photo if this boot is a slip-on or has an inside zipper. From the cut, it looks to be a slip-on.

If they are slip-ons, it might annoy you when you slip them on and off as they can be a bit rigid. The boots in your photo do not matter that much as they are ankle length, but I've had Chanel tall knee boots that were slip-ons that were super annoying. I have also had Chanel ankle bootie slip-ons that were a bit annoying. Hence, I prefer zippers and will no longer buy slip-on boots. That's just me, and I like to be able to dress fast and not fight with my clothes. When you try them on, you might want to consider that aspect and see if it bugs you, assuming they are slip-ons.
It bugged me, and I have had two Chanel slip-on boots and got rid of both of them (one tall knee length, the other ankle bootie).

A comment on the ankle height...
I love ankle boots, but not all ankle boots are created the same.
The ankle height (not heel height) makes all the difference in how you can wear the boots. The boots in your photo are high ankle boots, so wearing jeans might be a bit tricky.

Typically, for ankle booties, you want the top of the bootie to show which is the beauty of the ankle boot.
The boot you are considering has a nice top edge; I love the two rounded leather pieces overlapping, and the added strap makes it so beautiful. It's definitely a bootie you want to be seen in full.

Wearing wide long jeans will be fine of course, but if you want to wear straight leg or cropped jeans, it might be tricky.
The cropped length will have to be very short as the ankle height is so high, so depending on how tall you are, you may find you don't like how short you have to wear cropped jeans/pants to accomodate for the taller ankle height. I hope that made sense.

It's a beautiful shoe. If you are worried about comfort, Chanel boots are comfy. They are also very durable too.
For me, my hesitiation on this bootie would be the ankle height. It's a bit high for me as a true "ankle bootie."
It will work great for dresses though, very beautiful.

Hope this helps. Good luck in your decision!

I prefer the higher heel as the patent toe is relatively dressy.

Anyone know the reference code for these shoes and if they come in the flat sling back style? I asked all my SAs and can’t find it. TiaView attachment 5759292
They definitely come in the flat version as I bought them - unfortunately I cannot find the code anywhere (in the uk they take the code stickers off the box and the receipt just has the generic slingback code G31319)

I bought the version you posted and I’m waiting for purple

I’d love to see the purple! I contacted a few stores in the US and they all told me they didn’t order the pink color :(
