My first pair of Chips flats. I have always gone for the Gommettes which are really comfy for me. These off-white cream Chips seem more comfy than I remembered the Chips and I have been looking for a (off)-white pair of flats. Love the champagne coloured buckle with it. Much prefer it over the same colour Gommettes which have tone-on-tone plastic buckle.

The second pic is more representative of the colour.

Hi, where did you get the white color? I really wanted white but was told by the SA at Neiman that these flats don't come in white?? Thank you!

Hi guys, I'm about to get my first pair of Roger Vivier chips ballerinas but I can't decide which color to go with, I concluded the pros and cons for the 2 colors below:
Nude:
pro: matches with most things, elongate legs
con: I have a few other nude pairs and this pair due to the lack of sides almost make me look like I'm not wearing shoes...
Pink:
Pro: a different color for me as I don't own anything hot pink
con: harder to match clothes with... like this outfit in my pictures are totally not matching the pink

Also I plan to get the Belle de nuit pumps in the future, and I want to plan the colors so I have 2 different colors for the flats and pumps.
Should I get nude pumps + pink flats? Or pink pumps + nude flats??

So far I'm deciding between these 2 colors only because my local Neiman only has these 2 summery colors.
Pls let me know your opinion!

Thanks!!

The pink flats are more fun. Flats are 'boring' to me vs heels so it fun to be more daring in terms of colors. Nude pumps are a classic must have so I'll save the nude high heels. But that's just me. Go with what your heart likes!

Thanks so much! I just had the shoe repair shop put very thin layer of vibram protective soles on my flats. Feel much better now that I don't have to baby them as much.

I just put Vibram soles on my black satin flats open toe T bar embellished chips sandals. RV said no need to but I walk on concrete haha n my shoes do hit the road! I don't trudge through forests or anything in my precious RVs but I find that if I don't put vibram on, the tip of the sandals get ripped easily especially since it's satin.

For my chips flat pumps not so much. Guess flat sandals are really v flat against the ground and I feel better putting the protective soles on. Otherwise they wear out too fast and the shoe tip gets damaged the quickest.

In Singapore where I am I would say our grounds are very kind to shoes! But I still would resole my shoes.

I got it in Singapore. It seems the Asian store (Singapore and Hong Kong) carry different colours from the rest. Even Paris and London did not have the cream or lilac Chips.

Hi ladies, i purchased my first pair of RV from mytheresa. Do RV shoes stretch after a few wears? I ask becuz i ordered 37.5 for the U flats, i feel that the length fits but i feel tight on the toe area. If i got size 38 they might be too loose. Any advice? TIA!

Yes they do! My patent pumps hurt at first and they stretch later after few wears

Also felt tight in the toe box so I did size up 1/2size..& they do stretch in
the width I found but not the length

I also found the round toe more comfortable, the suede, satin & fabric more comfy
than the patent for me..

I also don't wear hose when I wear these shoes so the size I wear
is perfect now..

Thx calflu and hotshot! Based on your experience on the shoes i think i will keep this size and let the toe area stretch. I will get the round toe next time :)

Congratulations! I bought mine yesterday after seeing how beautiful they look on you! It's so gorgeous and I love that the buckle also has tiny crystals what a nice attention to detail.

Do you resole them btw? The store manager said I don't need to but I'm paranoid about the front part of the sandals getting damage from being so near to the ground.

I don't resole my embellished chips flats as the leather sole is thicker.

Hello Twins!
I usually wear my new shoes for a few times before sending to the cobbler for vibram re-sole. So just enjoy them in its original form first!
