Oh no! Maybe you could ask a PS who can help you find it in Europe if you know your size?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

I saw it in the uk - the colour is not as nice as it’s sounds - it’s a Very washed out greenish light blue and yellowish light green.
Does anyone have experience with the Boot Sneaker and can let me know about sizing? I'm usually a 40 (got a 40 dad sandal from Chanel) but I only found 39.5 and 41 in the second hand market...
hi! im looking to buy my first chanel shoes - im torn between the ballet flats or the heeled slingbacks. what would you guys recommend? id be looking to wear them to work and casually.
im also wondering if tweed would be a good option if i plan to be very careful with them (not wearing them when the weather is bad etc)

Hi! First, congratulations on your soon-to-be first pair of Chanel shoes! How exciting!
For me, there is no doubt in my mind to get the ballets. Why?
Your timing is perfect as right now, classic ballet shoes are the hottest shoe trend (e.g. Balletcore). They go with everything from dresses, to jeans, to shorts!
Ballets are a classic, never out of style, so aside from the bonus of being super on-trend now, Chanel ballets are also super comfy.
I can wear my ballets all day long. I think since you mentioned you will wear them to work and casual. The ballet is far more versatile than the heeled slingbacks.
The slingbacks are a classic shoe too, but they are dressier of course. I tried to wear them with jeans, but my after work look is super casual, and the heeled slingbacks don't quite work with my jeans look. They definitely do not work with my shorts look. Hence for me, my slingbacks are for work and more dressed up casual, not bum around casual.
I find I wear my ballets with everything, so it depends on how you plan to wear this shoe.
The ballet was my first Chanel shoe, and my plan was to wear it all the time! With everything!
On which ballet to get, once you get addicted (and I hope you do), you will find ballets come out every season in different fabric and color combinations.
For me, my first pair was the classic beige/black ballet. A bit boring? Perhaps, it is an iconic classic. They went with everything, and I wore them to death. It solidified my love of ballets. I am glad I got a classic pair as my first, as I was able to wear it so often.
I think if you plan to wear your ballets often, get a color/fabric that is very versatile.
While you may want something fun/trendy, you may find you will not wear it as often, or once the trendy color/fabric is over, you will tire of it. That would be a waste for your first ballet.
If your heart is set on something tweed/fabric, yes, it is very durable. They last very well, so I would not worry. I would worry more about what outfits you have that would match your tweed ballets.
I hope this helps in your decision. I am so excited for you! Good luck and congratulations again!
Feel free to post photos of your new gorgeous ballets!

Thank you so much for the in-depth review, I appreciate your feedback. I'm currently waiting for the boot to arrive from Macau as it's sold out in Hong Kong, you're post was super helpful. I now feel I have a clearer mind as I tend to be quite impulsive, so thank you again for all your suggestions and will keep you posted! ☺️
I wholeheartedly agree with everything @BigAkoya says (no surprise as the Chanel Shoe SME) but wanted to add— if you choose a model in a basic color, but with a whimsical touch (i.e. black and white tweed—someone posted a pair with paint speckles just recently https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/april-2023-chanel-purchases.1060218/post-35604931), you can wear them as a statement piece casually, and they transition seamlessly into dressier situations. I recently bought a pair of beaded ones, and reached for them constantly over the last few months, as it was the holiday season and they’re quite festive.Hi!

Alternatively, there are some seasonal styles that can be quite versatile (this recent one comes to mind)
Good luck and keep us posted!

My very first pair of Chanel shoes, and of course now I want more!
A little obsessed with the crystal details this collection. This is not normal a sandal style I would go for as I prefer mules but the beautiful colours got my attention…
Comes in white, black, beige, dark pink, bubblegum pink, navy, light green and light yellow
Looks a little flat due to the lighting but the detail is super sparkly

I love Chanel thong sandals and have a bunch of colors. They are classics, but the logo size varies each season, from small to jumbo. I find the thong sandals super comfy. I hope you love your new sandals and start collecting!
Congratulations on this new gorgeous pair!
Love them all! Did you get the middle shoes in the middle row (flat, ivory shoes with black satin toe?) recently? I couldn't find them in US
Thank you for sharing your lovely collection of shoes
Great to know that Chanel thong sandals are comfy. I liked the look but assumed that it would be uncomfortable.
Hi @jellyfred ! I got them in the US last December. I’ve seen some scragglers, recently. Have you tried customer service?Love them all! Did you get the middle shoes in the middle row (flat, ivory shoes with black satin toe?) recently? I couldn't find them in US
