Do these Chanel slides look like pool shoes?

Do you thinks these look too much like pool shoes?

I have been looking for a plain black pair of classic everyday Chanel slides. I have tried a few styles this summer and not quite finding the right one. I love the leather quilting on these with the textured gold metal CC but wonder if they are TOO casual? The bottom are a dense black foam material.

I think they are casual, but I don't think any flat slides are "too casual".
If you plan on wearing this on the daily, for errands, brunch, beach, pool, parks, relaxing with friends, I don't see why not!

But any flat open-toe slide or sandal is casual for me. Doesn't mean I don't think they can be worn with dressier outfits, but I'd probably have some kind of heel with it to pair with a dressier look.

I remember I was refused entry to a high end club in Lagos, Nigeria because the slides I was wearing did not have a heel back (like a strap or closed around the heel like the back of a pump). Pretty strict haha.

On a side note. I guess material can make a shoe or sandal more or less casual. If I had to think of something even more casual than your slides, it would have to be made of either raffia/straw (like espadrilles) or plastic/rubber.

Agree with all above. They don’t look like “pool slides” but they are casual sandals imo.

Sorry, but I have to ask what nail color is this? <3 Still searching for the perfect pink...

By the way: I think these slides are great, and they come with a wink - very cool and likable!

No, theyre nice and quite polished. Cute with a little black dress, mini skirt, trousers or jeans. Chanel has done this style with different details and iterations for years.

These below are white waterproof pool slides (I bought from the first spa collection at chanel 57, decades ago lol :smile:

Thanks @viba424, they’re pretty beaten up,
so I mainly just keep them bc I love the style.
I might wear them for a quick coffee run in the am :smile:

I also used to buy chanel thong jelly slippers which were basically pool shoes
Yours really look like luxe slides, a totally different thing
