FAQs
What size should I order?
The shoe corresponds to a IT 38 size, which is equivalent to a UK 7. It is recommended to consult Valentino Garavani's size chart or try them on if possible, as fit can vary.
What material are these mules made of?
The upper, lining, and sole are all made of 100% calf leather.
How high is the heel?
The heel height is 95mm, which is approximately 3.7 inches.
Are these mules suitable for everyday wear?
While made with quality materials, the high heel may make them best suited for special occasions or shorter periods of wear rather than all-day comfort for extensive walking.
How do I clean the VLogo hardware?
Gently wipe the hardware with a soft, dry cloth. For any stubborn marks, use a mild metal polish specifically designed for antique brass finishes.
Do these mules come with a dust bag?
Yes, they include a dust bag and a shoe box for storage and protection.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear these mules in wet weather as leather can be damaged by excessive moisture. Consider using protective sprays and avoiding puddles.
Troubleshooting
Mules feel stiff or tight
New leather can be stiff. Wear them for short periods around the house to allow the leather to soften and mold to your foot shape. Using a leather conditioner can also help.
Slippery sole
New leather soles can be slippery. Have a professional cobbler add a thin rubber sole protector for improved traction and to extend the life of the original sole.
Hardware appears dull or tarnished
Gently polish the gold-toned hardware with a soft, dry cloth. For more significant tarnish, use a specialized metal polish suitable for antique brass finishes, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Leather shows water spots or stains
If exposed to water, blot immediately with a soft, dry cloth. For stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner and conditioner. Always test cleaners on a small, hidden area first.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner. Clean the sole gently with a damp cloth.
- Storage: Store the mules in the provided dust bag and shoe box to protect them from dust, scratches, and humidity. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Protection: Consider applying a protective spray suitable for leather to help repel water and stains. For the leather sole, a cobbler can add a protective rubber layer for improved grip and durability.
- Heel Care: Avoid scuffing the heel. If the heel tip wears down, it can be replaced by a cobbler.
