Okay, so, I’ve been eyeing these Chanel sneakers for a while now. You know, the ones that just scream luxury but still look super comfy? I finally decided to go for it and figured I’d document the whole experience because, why not?

First things first, I hit up Saks Fifth Avenue. I knew they carried Chanel, and I’ve always had good experiences shopping there. Plus, they usually have free shipping and returns, which is a huge bonus when you’re about to drop some serious cash on shoes.
I browsed through their online selection, but honestly, nothing beats trying on shoes in person, especially when it comes to designer brands. So, I made a trip to my local Saks. There was an up to 40% off sale on the ready-to-wear clothes. The store was pretty busy, but I found the Chanel section without too much trouble.
And there they were. The sneakers I’d been dreaming of. They had a few different styles, but I went for the classic black ones. They looked even better in person. Super sleek, with that iconic Chanel logo subtly placed. I asked for my size, and let me tell you, figuring out Chanel sizing is a whole thing in itself.
The sales associate was super helpful, though. She explained that Chanel usually runs a bit small, and they use French sizing. I normally wear a US 7, which she said is roughly a French 37. But she also brought out a 37.5, just in case. Turns out, she was right. The 37 felt a bit snug, especially around the toes, but the 37.5 was perfect.
- They generally run small to true to size.
- They use French sizing (FR).
- It’s always best to try them on in person if you can.
Here’s what I learned about Chanel sneaker sizing:
Once I had the sizing sorted, it was time for the real test: walking around in them. And oh boy, were they comfy! Like, walking-on-clouds comfy. The leather was super soft, and the sole had just the right amount of cushioning. I could tell these were going to be my new go-to shoes for pretty much any casual occasion.

After pacing around the store for a good 15 minutes (gotta make sure, right?), I was sold. I paid for the shoes, which, yes, were expensive, but in my opinion, totally worth it for the quality and comfort.
I’ve been wearing these Chanel sneakers for a few weeks now, and I’m absolutely in love with them. They’re stylish, they’re comfortable, and they make me feel like a million bucks. If you’re thinking about getting a pair, I say go for it! Just make sure you get the sizing right, and be prepared to never want to take them off.
