How much do they cost and are the Chanel Ballet Flats worth it? But I know Chanel says it can extend the shoes’ lifespan! I didn’t do this, and it’s certainly not required. Note: You can resole the flats right from the get-go, too. Another friend only wears hers to dinners/events and on special occasions, and she’s going on five years strong! I have one friend who wears hers constantly, and she says that she had to replace them after three years even though she “brought them in for maintenance” often. The general opinion about the shoes’ lifespan is that it varies depending on how often they’re worn and how well they’re taken care of. I know I sound like an old lady, but I’m always astounded by how well cobblers can revive worn shoes! Taking them flats to your cobbler to have them cleaned up and/or resoled every once in a while is also a good idea. It’ll show wear! (Creases and scuff marks in particular.) Because of this, I’d recommend taking good care of the flats and not wearing them in the rain. The flats are truly beautiful! The downside, though, is that lambskin isn’t the most durable. The benefit of lambskin is that the leather is very soft and luxurious-feeling. What is the quality like and how do they hold up?Īgain, this particular pair of Chanel flats is made out of lambkin. Note: I wear a 37 in the Gucci Brixton loafers as well.
So this is definitely something to consider during the buying process! My personal preference with shoes is to go with whatever size my heels don’t slip out of, but I know that some people are the opposite and prefer to use inserts to obtain the perfect fit. But keep in mind that it’s basically impossible to stretch a shoe more than a half size, and I would therefore instead recommend trying to nail down your size beforehand. My local cobbler was successful in giving me a bit of extra length, which ended up fixing the problem. I also figured that I could have my cobbler stretch the right shoe if it didn’t do so on its own. The 37s were a teensy bit tight in the heel and toe areas of the right shoe, but I’d been told that the shoes could stretch a little– though not a ton!–because the classic pair is made of lambskin. In general, I found that the flats ran slightly on the larger side. I normally wear a size 7.5 in flats, but my heels slipped out of the 37.5s. Determining what size to buy can be tricky, because each shoe is handmade and therefore they can vary in size–even shoes that come out of the same box!
