Do Chanel shoes run true to size?

I haven't had any issues with my cambon flats and was literally able to wear mine right out of the store. I shopped all afternoon while wearing my brand new cambon flats and not once did the flats hurt my feet.

Okay I just got the Cambon flats today and although they are a lot cutier than I originally thought they fit wierd. I got the 36 which is my size generally and my heel slips on the left and on my right the front presses down on my big toe. They feel kinda stiff will they give in time? Is it worth keeping and stretching out the right and putting the no slip cushions from Nordies on the backs?

The cambon flats will definitely stretch out over time. I'm wondering if the pair of cambon flats you purchased had possibly been stretched out by someone with a larger or wider foot that was trying on the flats. This is why I usually ask my SAs to bring out, whenever possible, several different pairs of the shoes I want in my size so that I can the purchase the ones that fit the best. Also, you can use the ties/bow on the flats to tighten or loosen the elastic around the top of the flats for a better and more comfortable fit. The no slip cushions should help but I would recommend trying to exchange the flats for another pair to see if you can get a better fit.

Thank you so much I'm going tomorrow to try another pair! I did not know the drawstring was functional I all try it! They are MUCH cuter on for sure. Thanks again!!!
 
So I went last night and found a better fitting pair BUT they have the white CC's instead of the black. At this point I kinda don't care but the white really screams Chanel and I wanted a more understated look. They truly are very comfortable!! Thanks for all your help.

I'm glad to hear that you were able to find a better fitting pair of the cambon flats! I really enjoy wearing my cambon flats as they're so comfy and classic/elegant. I just wish that Chanel would bring back the flats in the other colors :graucho: Enjoy your new Chanel flats!
 
I'm hoping to score a pair of chanel flats, but the thing is I've never owned them and there's no department store/boutique near by to try them on. I went to the city over this weekend (500 miles away!), but neither NM nor chanel boutique had my size. So, I thought I'd be much better off asking you ladies to help me with size because I've already seen several posts on these two styles of flats I've been eyeing on. SA at NM wrote the serial numbers down for me: #26480 and #26365.

I've done some search here and it seems that the first one runs a full size smaller, but please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm usually a 37. Thank you!!!!

I am helping my friend to order a pair of chanel ballerina (the pink with black toe). However, I have doubts regarding the size. My friend previously bought a pair of cambon flats in 39.5. With my personal experience, i think the cambon flats run big.

Here is the question. Should i order her 39.5 for the ballerina as well? Can someone with both shoes help me on this issue?

Thanks in advance! :D
 
Hi! I need help regarding sizing for Chanel pump (4.5" with 5/8 platform)

Here's a pic: http://cgi.ebay.com/NIB-Chanel-Black...item35a49f257c

I normally wear a US size 8 and sometimes 8.5 with average to slightly wide feet. CL 38.5 and mostly 39. My only chanel shoe is a patent peep toe pump that is a 39.5 (ran really small).

What size do you think I can get in these? I think that they only run .5 size small based on sellers' recommendations. But, unsure about the toe box (I have slightly wide feet).

Thanks for all your help in advance!!!
 
I think they definitely run small...I wear a normal size 8...but the camellia thong sandals I can wear a 9 or 10. The flats I wear 8 or 9. The heels are usually 8.5, 9, or 9.5...

The camellia rain boots I fit a 40 (size 10) comfortably!! It can get frusterating if you're not able to try them on in person.
