About Chloe Woody Logo Slides
Chloe introduced the woody logo slides around 2020 which is when I bought my first pair. And I still own and wear the pair. Since then I added a black shade one to my collection.
The woody logo slides were part of the Chloe’s woody collection which showcases the bold logo detail from the brand.
The sandals showcase the signature Chloe logo in the canvas top. Which made them really famous.
Make & Style
The Chloe Woody Slides soles are 100% leather and and looks really sturdy in terms of design. The slides have a very slight heel, but not a lot that will make you feel uncomfortable in the long run walking all day.
The straps are 100% cotton and look really comfortable and sleek. I was pleasantly surprised by Chloe’s clean design of these slides. Usually as a bohemian brand they have more intricate details on most of their footwear as well, but this one is a very simple and clean design with the Chloe logo embedded on the canvas.
This is mot an embroidery but probably embossed, because the fabric itself is very lightweight and there are no weird bump.
Design
Because of the clean design, the footwear is easy to wear and maintain as well. I have had no issues so far in terms of any fabric pulling or anything. And I have taken it to places in the past 2 and 1/2 years.
Since the design is really simple, and because I chose the white canvas, I literally wear them with anything and everything. It goes with all my summer outfits, beach looks, bikinis. But, I also think if I had bought the black one, it would also be the same for me.
The thick leather soles are rigid which is what makes them really durable. And the canvas topper makes them breathable.
So, even if you are sweating, or got them wet, the top dries out with any damage.

Durability
I have never gotten them fully wet, but I have walked in the after stepping out from the ocean or a pool, but the leather has had no problem.
There are marks of my feet, but overall the leather looks fantastic and the sole has barely worn out.
And the Canvas has also stayed intact without any fading in the sun.
Comfort
The thick straps of the slides make them comfortable to walk in without sliding out. This is a common problem with dainty slides, but Chloe woody sandals don’t have that problem.
I have walked miles in them, biked as wells for me they are really comfortable. But if you have a wider feet, I would recommend wearing them down before you can walk in them for longer time since the edge of the canvas may bite.
If you have wider feet, or you usually wear wider feet, these sandals might hurt. I usually wear narrow shoes, so they have been airy and comfortable for me.
But if you don’t have that issue, then these are the best slides for sole support. The thick soles make walking comfortable.
Sizing
I am a size 7.5 US for sandals and 8 for boots, but I picked EU 38 for the slides and have no problem at all. I believe at the time Chloe was not manufacturing half sizes, but I think that has changed now. So, if you feel you are on the smaller spectrum or on a narrow side you should opt for 37.5 EU.
If you have wider feet and feel uncomfortable because of the canvas strap, I would recommend going a size up. But the straps loosen up a bit as you wear them. Mine have gotten really comfortable now after wearing them so much. I think this is the case with most leather footwear.
Overall Verdict
If you like statement style and laidback look, then these slides will be something you will literally wear everyday till it is too cold to wear them. That is what I do. But if you are someone who does not like to wear the same footwear always, then probably going for something more affordable should be a better option.
I bought them because I value comfort and durability in my shoes as I do not shop for footwear that often. I have got sensitive feet that are prone to blisters and buying quality shoes that don’t cause it is always my top priority and in the years that I have worn these, I have never had any of those problems, and I think that is why finding the right size is really key.
I have been wearing these logo slides for about 3 years now and I cannot tell you how comfortable I have gotten with them. Even after 3 years, they look great and are in great condition to wear with all my nicer clothes. The leather softens up in years and feels more and more comfortable to wear.
How To Care
Honestly, if you have to be really delicate with any footwear, my suggestion is not buy them in the first place. The only thing I usually do after I am done wearing them, is to wipe the with a dry cloth and put them in the bag that it comes with to pack it away. But here is a complete Chloe slides care guide, which will help make them look as brand new. I also do the same when I am traveling, which is a good way to keep your shoes packed compactly.
Designer Price Comparison
Whenever, I want to buy any designer goods, I like to do a price comparison to check which brand is the most cost effective to buy and you SHOULD TOTALLY DO THIS.
Most Designers have similar style of manufacturing and quality control, and if you are going for European brands, they might be manufactured in the same factory. So why just go for the name.
So, when I bought the Chloe woody slides, I compared them with some top brands that had great slides. But since we are talking about it right now, let’s compare it with the current designer slides.
These were the only canvas slides I could find and you can clearly see the price difference and design difference. The Gucci one does no even look like a canvas slide.
Color Suggestion
If these are your first designer slides, I recommend buying the white one which will be really versatile in any wardrobe.
My next choice of color would be the black one again because of the versatility of the piece.

Best Places To Shop
If you are looking to save some money, I would recommend getting them from online stores outside of US where you can save some dollars on them. Some of my favorite stores to shop are Farfetch and MyTheresa, where you can find a lot more varieties of these slides.
But if you are looking to shop in US then, here are a few places to find them:
