FAQs
What is the heel height of the Valet Du Roi pump?
These pumps feature a 60 mm (2.4 inch) block heel.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The slingback design is generally accommodating, but the mesh toe box is structured. We recommend trying them on with a thin hosiery to gauge comfort.
Where are these shoes made?
The Valentino Garavani Valet Du Roi pumps are expertly made in Italy.
How should I clean the mesh portion?
Avoid liquid cleaners. Lightly brush with a clean, soft-bristled brush or use a dry, lint-free cloth to gently remove debris.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended. The combination of delicate mesh and kidskin leather is prone to damage when exposed to moisture.
Do the bows and tassels require maintenance?
Keep the tassels away from sharp objects to prevent fraying and ensure the bow sits flat against the shoe during storage.
Troubleshooting
Buckle feels loose
Adjust the slingback strap one notch tighter to ensure the heel does not slip out while walking.
Light dust on mesh
Use a can of compressed air held at a distance to gently blow away dust from the mesh weave without rubbing.
Heel tap wear
Take the shoes to a professional cobbler to replace the plastic heel tips once they show signs of thinning to prevent damage to the leather heel wrap.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Valentino Garavani pumps remain in excellent condition, follow these guidelines:
- Storage: Always store these shoes in a dust bag when not in use to prevent the mesh from snagging on other items in your closet.
- Cleaning: Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes on the mesh. Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe away surface dust from the leather areas. For deep cleaning, consult a professional leather goods specialist.
- Moisture Protection: Avoid exposing the shoes to rain or excessive humidity, as moisture can damage both the kidskin leather and the integrity of the mesh weave.
- Compatibility: These pumps feature a standard slingback design. If you are between sizes, it is recommended to ensure the strap is adjusted to keep your heel securely positioned at the back of the sole.
