Thanks for the quick response.

Yes, I agree and love my Chanel flats. They are my essentials, so hardy and comfortable. Some of mine are 5 years old and they still have plenty of life left. I keep ending up buying Chanel flats and still have 3 pairs brand new in box, which is why I'm restraining myself from buying more RV flats.

By the way, I forgot to mention in my post above...since you said you have wide feet, you will love RV. I have wide feet too, and the almond or buckle pumps and buckle gonna flats fit me great.

There is a pony hair leopard print flat that is really pretty, at least to me. If you wear a more classic outfit, those shoes really stand out. I think it's my favorite flat now.

Have fun with RV!

I have to admit though... The most comfortable flats in the world are Chanel ballet flats. They are my true love... Like walking on air. Try those too!

Your posts are very helpful! I just have a few flats and find them very comfy. I love my pony hair leopard print flat too! They are classic and stand out just enough to spice up a simple outfit.

For some reason, I don't really find my quilted Chanel ballet flats that comfortable! :sad: May be I need to keep wearing them to break them in? Can you please tell me-are your Chanel ballet flats the same size as your gommette flats? May be I should have gone a half size up for my Chanel ballet flats...

Hi! In my opinion, I think you might be buying the Chanel flats a bit too small. Chanel definitely runs a half size small for me. In the RV flats, I am my normal size, but in Chanel flats, they are always a half size bigger. Chanel is the one brand that I take a half size bigger in any style... flats, sandals, pumps.

My friend bought a Chanel flat, and I was with her when she bought it. The fit was good to a tad bit snug, and I suggested she get the larger size. She wanted to stay with the smaller size (why are women so afraid to go up a size?). Anyway, she regrets it now, and all her other ballets are a half size larger. The smaller one squeezes the top of her feet, around the toes.

Maybe try a larger size in Chanel. And don't be afraid if the SA tells you it's too big. Many SAs have told me my ballets are too big as they have a tiny gap at the back near the heel. But I just say "I like them big and comfy". And honestly, they ARE comfy! I have walked around NYC all day in my ballets with no problem at all. The Chanel ballets are my go to shoes for total comfort.

My other opinion on breaking shoes in. I know SAs say that too and a lot of people feel shoes need to be broken in. I say shoes should fit good when you put them on, otherwise, they are not the right ones. Especially if they feel tight... it's because they are too small. When shoes "break in", what people really mean is that they stretch them. But honestly, if you look at people's shoes, you can definitely tell when people are wearing ill-fitting shoes that they had to break in. The shoe is all stretch out looking and it is usually around the toe part and the wide part, so now the shoe has lost it's shape and elegance. Anyway, that's my opinion ad something to think about. Shoes are beautiful in it's original shape.

I hope this was helpful. Grab another Chanel! I really love the look, elegant yet also so comfy.

Thank you so much willeyi! :winkiss: Your comments are very helpful indeed. I will go half a size up next time with Chanel ballet flats! I bought my current pair without trying them on first and since they don't feel like "walking on air," I was disappointed and moved onto RV...

Sizes vary widely with any designer. It's really difficult to buy any shoes today without trying them on. RV's, Manolo's, Chanel, you name it, you really have to try everything because you can to up or down a half size just depending on the shoe and the cut.

Oh oh...I hope I made the right decisions.


I tried on Chanel and CL shoes in stores on the carpet and ended up regretted the sizes I bought. They are tad too big. 😱 so now I need to ask SA to ship 0.5 size down to me.

And I feel stocking also makes 0.5 size difference as well.

I went against two different SA's recommendation and ordered 37 for RS since I felt 36.5 is too tight when I put them.

Now 37 arrived and I found them a bit loose when I walk on the floor at home with stocking 😱

I prefer them a bit loose to a bit tight. These are ballets ad meant to fit comfy so you can wear them all day. If they are falling off, of course it is too big, but mine are a bit loose but when I wear them during the day, they are great.

My opinion... I would definitely not wear stockings with them. It doesn't fit the look, but that is just my thoughts. I know everyone is different.

Try both in the morning and at night, especially when your feet are swollen. See which is more comfy. Tight is not good for me, but of course you know best what fits.

Agree that comfort is paramount... & when the weather starts to warm up,
even more important that the shoes are comfy.. Its not about size its
about how it fits & looks on the foot...

I am a size larger in Chanel than I am in RV & do actually prefer wearing
without hose...
