Hermès CHYPRE sandals

Hey!

I have purchased a pair of black and white Chypres at the Oslo store last December, but soon after, the leather started to break and lift so this October I took it to the store and the SA sent it to Paris. The store manager in Oslo called me to say that that pair had indeed a lower quality than Hermès should provide, apologized and told me I could get the credit in store to get a new one or any other item. The other option was to get the damaged ones back. So I decided to go for store credit.
I came to redeem it today and first the SA suggested as a “tip” that I came for it next yeat because the value wold be higher. When I saw the value in the credit note I didn’t understand because it was for the amount I bought them for (7.200kr) and today the same shoes cost 9.000kr, so I asked and he confirmed that if I want to get the same pair as I had before, I would have to pay the difference.
That sounds very weird to me since the problem was the brand’s fault and not mine.
Does anyone have an opinion in this case?
I will call the store manager tomorrow to confirm what happens in this case and see if that is really the standard.
Thanks in advance :)

Has anyone seen these new ones with the wooden sole?
I just got them! Surprised by how comfortable they are! I was worried the wood would feel hard on my feet but it doesn’t at all. And for some reason they actually fit my feet better than the regular chypres. I might want another pair! My store also ordered them in white.

Omg they look like they’d be so loud but I still want them
Yes they are really loud!!! 😆

I go up half a size from Oran, which is already half a size up from my Hermes loafer size
I have measured and compared my feet against the size chart and I am coming up as a 36.5 for my largest foot compared to my usual size 37. I am unable to order them directly online as they won’t deliver to my location but I can use the Selfridges personal shopping service. I don’t want to mess around ordering 2 sizes to compare and not sure if they would even send both for me to then return one.
 
I am UK based and a standard EU 37/UK 4 across all shoes and can’t decide whether to go for a 37 or the 37.5. I have measured my feet against the Hermes size chart and I am actually coming out as a 36.5! Argh decisions!
Glad to hear no squeak!
Hi!
I’m UK based. My TTS is 36.5 - I take Chypre in 36.5, Oran in 37. I find the Oran narrower and I have a wide foot. Personally I find the Chypre in 36.5 are a good width on me and length wise are literally perfect. I probably could go up half a size to 37 but I felt they weren’t as secure on my foot.
If you are usually a 37, I would recommend taking 37 in Chypre especially if you have normal width feet!

Thank you ☺️ yes certainly a normal width 37. I struggled to get some New Balance trainers to fit as all the sizes were converting from US sizing and they were all slightly off, managed to find a 37 and they were perfect!
 
I have received my Chypre sandals in rose cancan today in a 37. I measured a very similar footbed sandal and asked the associate to measure the footbed of the Chypre and there was a 2mm difference so I went for the 37, my TTS and they fit perfectly.
Fingers crossed the summer starts early this year.
