Alright, let’s talk about these Chanel flat booties. It wasn’t some grand plan, honestly. I just realized I needed a good pair of flat boots. Something I could actually walk in, you know? Not those sky-high things. And definitely not something super chunky. I kept seeing boots that just weren’t quite right.
Then I spotted these Chanel ones. Can’t remember exactly where – maybe scrolling online, maybe saw someone wearing them. They just sort of lodged themselves in my brain. Simple, classic looking. Looked like they’d be easy to wear.
Finding the Dang Things
So, I started looking properly. First stop, obviously, the Chanel website. Checked stock, sizes. Then poked around some of the big department store sites too. I thought about going into an actual store, but sometimes that feels like a whole production, you know? Dealing with the sales assistants, feeling pressured. I decided to just keep searching online, less hassle.
It actually took a bit. My size seemed to be out of stock a lot, or they’d only have the weirder versions. I just wanted the plain black leather ones. Patience, right? Had to just keep checking back.
Making the Call (and Paying Up)
Okay, let’s be real. They cost a bomb. I definitely paused. Thought about other options. Maybe some other brand, something less… painful for the bank account. But my mind kept going back to the Chanel ones. They just had the look I wanted. Slimmer profile, not clunky. I told myself they’d be versatile, go with everything. The classic ‘investment piece’ justification. We all do it, right?
Finally, I saw my size pop up on the official website. Didn’t even think too much, just hit ‘add to cart’ and went through checkout before I could talk myself out of it. Felt slightly ridiculous spending that much on boots, but also kind of excited.
Getting Them and First Steps
The box arrived. You know the drill, fancy packaging, all that stuff. Pulled the boots out. The leather felt nice, solid. Smelled like good leather. First thing I did was try them on, right there in the hallway. Felt… okay. A little stiff, not gonna lie. I walked around the living room for a bit, checking them out in the mirror. They looked good, which helped.
First real outing was just a normal day. Had some errands to run. Figured it was a good way to start breaking them in. Wore them with jeans. They were definitely stiff to start. By the end of the day, my heels felt it a bit. Not agony, but not like wearing slippers either. Definitely needed breaking in.
Living With The Boots
So, I’ve had them for a while now. Worn them quite a bit, mostly when it’s cooler out. Good news is, they did break in. Much more comfortable now than they were initially. They really are easy to just pull on and go. Usually wear them with black jeans or leggings. Simple. They handle a bit of drizzle okay too, which is a plus.
- Easy to style, pretty much go with my casual stuff.
- Definitely needed a few wears to feel comfortable.
- Holding up alright so far.
Keeping Them Nice
Haven’t done much special care. Just wipe them down with a cloth if they get dusty or spotty. I try to use the little shoe tree things they came with when I store them, hoping they keep their shape. Main thing is being careful not to scuff them badly on curbs or stairs. That leather looks nice, but I bet it scratches easily.
So, yeah. That’s the story. Was it a sensible purchase? Probably not, if you look purely at the price tag. But do I regret it? Nope. I wear them, I like how they look, they fill that gap I had for a simple, flat boot. Sometimes you just want the specific thing you want. They’re just boots, but they make getting dressed a little bit easier and I feel good wearing them. That’s pretty much it.
