FAQs
What type of leather are these flats made from?
The Valentino Garavani Cour Royal flats are made from premium goat leather for the upper, with a leather lining and sole.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The pointed toe shape may not be ideal for very wide feet. It is recommended to try them on or consult sizing charts carefully. The buckle offers some adjustability.
How should I clean the white leather?
Clean the white leather with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher marks, use a cleaner specifically designed for white leather or light-colored leather, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Can these be worn in wet weather?
It is best to avoid wearing leather-soled shoes in wet conditions as it can damage the leather and make the soles slippery. Consider adding protective sole guards.
What is included with the purchase?
The shoes come with a branded dust bag and a shoe box for storage and protection.
What is the heel height?
These are flats, so they have a very low or negligible heel, designed for comfort and a sleek profile.
Where are these shoes made?
These Valentino Garavani flats are proudly made in Italy, reflecting high standards of craftsmanship.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable
Leather requires a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the duration. Consider using a shoe stretcher or professional shoe repair for more stubborn stiffness.
Buckle is difficult to fasten or unfasten
Ensure the buckle prong is aligned correctly with the hole. If it remains stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant applied sparingly to the buckle mechanism might help.
Scuff marks on the leather
For minor scuffs, try buffing gently with a soft cloth. For white leather, a specialized leather cleaner or a magic eraser (used very gently) might help. Professional leather repair is recommended for deeper marks.
Slippery soles
Wear them on rougher surfaces to naturally scuff the soles, or have a cobbler apply protective sole grips for immediate improvement in traction.
