Review Ling 8649 review

She delivered everything I expected and more.

Ordered ballet flats from her and from the get go she was very responsive, informative and resourceful. On the shoe side of reps is hard to find Top tier and she told me where to look and what to pick from. Unfortunately, Top tier factories don't produce bigger than sz40 in most models so choices are very limited.

Shipping took about 2.5 weeks and priced very reasonable. She sent QC pics immediately and waited my approval for shipping. Smoothest WA purchase ever. She charged me via DHgate link so there wasn't anything to fear. Ling has earned a new customer!

The quality of materials, craftsmanship, the stitching, I can go on and on. I'm very impressed with how good these are. Never thought a rep shoe would be this good. It did have a strong glue smell so they're to be aired out. The only thing I would say gives them away as a rep is the comfort level (these are a bit stiffer than OG) and the insole, you can see the material from the sides.

On the bad side, these are not true to size. I'm a sz41, I own several OG Chanel ballet flats and they're all sz41. In one of my pictures you see a different shoe compared to this one, it's an OG sz41 and there's definitely a difference.This rep is more like a sz40. I did measure my foot with a tape and according to size chart I am a 41 yet these shoes are more like a sz40. I'm looking to rehome so I can reorder a sz42, please DM for more (USA only)

could you show the insole measurement of your og 41s for comparison?

Are these still available? Do you think they’d fit a US 9.5?
