FAQs
What is the heel height of these pumps?
These pumps feature a 100 mm (approximately 4-inch) stiletto heel.
Are these shoes true to size?
Valentino Garavani footwear typically follows standard Italian sizing. If you have a wider foot, you may find the pointed-toe design feels snug, and some users prefer to go up a half size.
How should I clean the platinum-finish studs?
Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to gently wipe the studs. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could strip the finish.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
It is not recommended. Water can damage the high-quality calf leather and affect the longevity of the construction. If they do get wet, wipe them dry immediately and let them air dry away from direct heat.
Where are these shoes manufactured?
These shoes are handcrafted in Italy, adhering to the brand's standards for luxury manufacturing.
What type of leather is used?
The shoes are constructed from high-quality, durable calf leather.
Troubleshooting
The ankle strap is too loose or tight
Adjust the buckle to the appropriate pre-punched hole. If additional holes are needed, consult a professional leather worker rather than attempting to punch them yourself.
Scuffing on the leather upper
Use a leather polish that matches the black color of the shoe to buff out minor surface scuffs. For deep scratches, consult a professional shoe repair service.
Slipping on smooth floor surfaces
Apply an adhesive grip pad to the bottom of the sole or have a thin rubber "topy" sole professionally installed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Valentino Garavani pumps remain in pristine condition, follow these guidelines:
- Storage: Always store your shoes in a cool, dry place inside their provided dust bag to prevent dust accumulation and potential scratches on the leather.
- Leather Care: Use a high-quality leather cream or conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Avoid exposure to excessive moisture or rain.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather gently with a soft, dry cloth after each use. For the platinum-finish studs, use a dry microfiber cloth to buff away fingerprints.
- Surface Protection: Consider adding a thin rubber sole protector at a professional cobbler to improve grip and prevent excessive wear on the leather outsole.
- Fit Check: Ensure the ankle buckle is secured firmly but comfortably; do not overtighten, as this may lead to discomfort or strain on the strap hardware.
