FAQs
What is the heel height of the VLogo 80 pumps?
The '80' in VLogo 80 typically refers to an 80mm heel height, which is approximately 3.15 inches.
Are these pumps suitable for wide feet?
The VLogo 80 pumps have a classic pointed-toe silhouette, which may not be ideal for very wide feet. It is recommended to try them on if possible, or consider the break-in period carefully.
How do I maintain the shine of the leather?
Regularly clean with a soft cloth and apply a good quality leather conditioner or polish designed for your specific leather type to maintain its luster and prevent drying.
Can these pumps be worn in the rain?
While the rubber sole offers some protection, it is not recommended to wear fine leather shoes like these in heavy rain. It is best to protect them with a waterproofing spray and avoid wet conditions.
What material is the sole made of?
The sole is a combination of leather and rubber for durability and some traction.
Do these pumps come with a dust bag?
Yes, the Valentino Garavani VLogo 80 slingback pumps include a dust bag and a shoe box for protection and storage.
What is the best way to break in pointed-toe shoes?
Wear them for short periods indoors initially, gradually increasing the duration. Wearing thicker socks or using shoe stretchers can also help expand the toe box slightly.
Troubleshooting
Buckle feels stiff or difficult to fasten.
Gently work the buckle back and forth. If it remains stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied sparingly to the buckle mechanism.
Leather shows minor scuffs or creases.
Light scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper creases, use a leather conditioner or cream specifically designed for the type of leather, following product instructions.
Slingback strap feels too loose or too tight.
Adjust the buckle to the nearest hole for a snug but comfortable fit. If further adjustment is needed, consider visiting a cobbler to add or move a hole.

Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid excessive moisture.
- Protection: Apply a waterproofing spray suitable for leather to protect against moisture and stains, especially before wearing in potentially wet conditions.
- Storage: Store the pumps in the provided dust bag and shoe box to protect them from dust, scratches, and damage. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Sole Care: As the sole is a combination of leather and rubber, avoid prolonged exposure to wet surfaces. Consider having protective rubber sole inserts added by a cobbler for increased durability and slip resistance, particularly if frequent wear is planned.
