FAQs

The Gianvito Rossi Portofino 85 sandals are made from 100% Nappa/Lamb Leather.
What is the heel height of the Portofino 85 sandal?
The heel height is 85mm, which is approximately 3.3 inches.
Are these sandals suitable for everyday wear?

How should I clean the gold leather finish?
Gently wipe the gold leather with a soft, dry cloth. For any marks, use a cloth lightly dampened with water, avoiding harsh chemicals.
Can I wear these sandals in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear fine leather sandals like these in wet weather, as moisture can damage the leather and affect its appearance.
Where are these sandals made?
The Gianvito Rossi Portofino 85 sandals are handmade in Italy.
What does 'NPSMEKO' mean in the product code?
The specific details like 'NPSMEKO' often refer to material variations, finishes, or specific construction details within the brand's internal cataloging system and are not typically customer-facing product features.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears scuffed or scratched
For minor scuffs, try using a specialized leather cleaner and a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, consult a professional leather repair specialist.
Buckle feels loose or stiff
Gently try to adjust the buckle. If it remains loose, it may require professional repair. If stiff, a small amount of lubricant designed for metal and leather might help, but test in an inconspicuous area first.
Soles show signs of wear
Take the sandals to a reputable cobbler for sole repair or reinforcement to prevent further damage and extend their lifespan.
Leather feels dry or is cracking
Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for fine leathers. Ensure the product is suitable for nappa and lamb leather and follow the product's instructions. This should be done periodically, not just when dryness is apparent.
