New Dior slingbacks

This is my 1st pair of Dior slingbacks. Does anyone have advice/insight on break in time and durability? I ordered a half size up, but I'm worried that over time the backs will stretch out too much
I love these shoes. I have wanted them for years but slingbacks never stay put on my foot. They look great on your feet!
Yeah, I will say there is alot of movement in the shoe when I walk, as in I feel like they might come off. But if I had ordered any smaller size then the toe box would be too tight. But I LOVE the color. I have so many green bags that I can pair with these, so maybe these will just be "car to restaurant table/theater seat then back to car again " shoes
Looking at your heel, size wise it looks perfect.
Your heel isn't sticking out (means the shoe is too small) and your heel isn't too far in (means the shoe is too big).
As for the longevity of the slingback I unfortunately cannot say.
Personally I have always had bad luck with slingbacks, they're either too tight and cut into my heel or, end up slipping down on my feet (and these are for shoes that were brand new and not worn that often). So I've given up on slingback shoes all together.
It was just never meant to be for me.

No advice, but just to say they look absolutely gorgeous and fun, congratulations

Can’t agree more - sling backs have a law unto their own. I’ve even had straps adjusted by a cobbler on many - but never idea. Chanel’s seem to be ok but have given up on all others
My sling backs took about 4 wears before they didn’t give my feet/toes blisters (of course just in the toe box area). I feel like the shoes will hold up for a while.
They give away these sticky silicone to put on the slings right? I don’t own one just yet but when I tried one of these the SA put on the sticky silicone on the slings since it’s quite loose on me.
Looks great on you! Don’t worry about the sling backs. If they loosen too much over time just take them to a good cobbler and they can easily fix the elastic part. Enjoy them!
