FAQs
What is the heel height of these slides?
The heel height is 5 mm (approximately 0.2 inches or 0.635 cm).
What materials are the Valentino Garavani VLogo Torchon slides made of?
The upper is made of linen, the lining is leather, and the sole features a leather insole with a rubber outsole. The sole is also wrapped in silk cord.
How should I clean the linen and silk cord parts of the slides?
Gently spot clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water. Professional cleaning is recommended for significant stains.
Are these slides suitable for extensive walking?
While comfortable for everyday wear and light strolls, they offer minimal arch support and are best suited for shorter durations or less strenuous activities.
What does 'VLogo Torchon' refer to?
'VLogo' refers to the signature Valentino Garavani logo, and 'Torchon' likely describes the twisted or braided appearance of the silk cord used in the design, particularly on the sole.
What size should I order?
These slides are listed by UK adult foot size. Refer to standard sizing charts for conversion if needed, and consider the open-toe silhouette when assessing fit.
Can the silk cord be easily replaced if damaged?
The silk cord is integrated into the design. Minor fraying can be trimmed, but significant damage may require professional repair or may be difficult to rectify.
Troubleshooting
Slight discoloration on linen upper
Gently spot clean with a slightly damp, white cloth. Test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid rubbing vigorously.
Silk cord on sole appears frayed
Carefully trim any loose threads with small, sharp scissors. Avoid pulling on the cords. If significantly damaged, consult a professional.
Leather insole feels stiff
Wear the slides for short periods to allow them to mold to your feet. You can also apply a small amount of leather conditioner to the insole.
Slides feel slightly loose
Due to the nature of the open-toe slide, a snug fit may not always be possible. Ensure your heel is positioned correctly. Consider adding a subtle insole cushion if needed.
