FAQs
What is the heel height of these pumps?
These shoes feature a 100 mm heel, which is approximately 4 inches.
Are these shoes true to size?
The Valentino Garavani Rockstud line generally follows standard European sizing. If you are between sizes, consider trying both to see how the ankle strap influences the fit.
How should I clean the platinum studs?
Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to wipe the studs. Avoid liquid cleaners, as they may damage the surrounding leather.
Are the ankle straps removable?
No, the straps are a permanent, integral part of the design and structural support of the pump.
Can these be worn for long periods?
Due to the 100 mm height, they are best suited for events where sitting and standing are alternated, rather than extensive walking.
Where are these shoes manufactured?
These pumps are made in Italy by Valentino Garavani artisans.
Troubleshooting
Straps feel too loose or tight
Utilize the adjustable buckle settings on the ankle strap to find the most secure fit for your individual ankle diameter.
Heel clicking on hard surfaces
This is common for stiletto heels; consider having a cobbler add a rubber heel tip if you prefer a quieter stride or improved grip.
Minor scuffs on the leather
Use a neutral leather cream designed for calfskin to buff out surface marks and restore moisture to the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When unboxing your Rockstud pumps, ensure the straps are adjusted to your comfort level while standing to mimic the natural expansion of the foot. To maintain the integrity of the calfskin, clean the surface gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid exposure to extreme heat, moisture, or harsh chemicals which may tarnish the platinum-finish studs. When not in use, store the shoes in the provided dust bag to prevent scuffing and maintain the leather's natural sheen. Check the heel tips periodically; as with all high-heel footwear, these can wear down over time and may require replacement at a cobbler to prevent instability.
