FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they follow standard adult UK sizing; however, since leather molds to the foot, choose your usual dress shoe size.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended. Excessive moisture can damage the calfskin leather and the leather sole. If they do get wet, pat them dry gently.
How do I maintain the gold VLogo?
Wipe the gold accessory gently with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove fingerprints and maintain its luster.
Where are these shoes made?
The Valentino Garavani Vaniteux loafers are proudly made in Italy.
What is the heel height?
The heel height is 20 mm, which is equivalent to 0.8 inches.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
Smooth calfskin leather will naturally stretch and conform to your foot shape after a few wears. Use a shoe horn when putting them on to prevent damaging the heel cup.
Slippery leather soles
Leather soles provide excellent breathability but can be slippery. They will develop more traction over time as they are worn on rougher ground.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When you first receive your Valentino Garavani Vaniteux loafers, ensure you try them on while wearing the type of socks or hosiery you intend to use with them to verify the fit. Since these are high-quality calfskin, apply a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Store the shoes in the provided dust bag when not in use to protect the surface from scratches and dust. If they become wet, allow them to air dry slowly at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp or dry out the leather.
