FAQs
What is the heel height of these pumps?
The Valet Du Roi pumps feature a 60mm block heel, which is approximately 2.3 inches.
Are these shoes true to size?
These shoes follow standard UK sizing; however, since they feature an adjustable strap and a square-toe, most users find their usual size to be accurate.
What materials are used in the construction?
The pumps are made from a high-quality combination of kidskin leather and fine mesh.
How should I store these shoes to prevent damage?
Store them in the included protective dust bag inside the shoe box, kept in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Can I get the mesh wet?
No, it is best to avoid getting the mesh wet as it is a delicate fabric that can be difficult to clean and may lose its structure if soaked.
Does the VLogo hardware change color over time?
The VLogo features an antique-effect brass finish. While this finish is designed to look aged, proper care and avoiding moisture will help maintain its intended aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Buckle strap feels too loose or tight
Adjust the buckled strap to a different hole setting to find a secure and comfortable fit for your ankle.
Scuffing on the leather heel
Use a matching leather polish or cream to gently buff out minor scuffs, ensuring you test the product on a hidden area first.
VLogo hardware losing luster
Gently wipe the antique-effect brass with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove oils and debris that dull the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before wearing your pumps for the first time, ensure the buckled strap is adjusted to your preferred tension. To maintain the life of the kidskin leather and mesh, store the shoes in the provided dust bag when not in use. Avoid exposing the shoes to excessive moisture or harsh chemicals that could tarnish the antique-effect brass VLogo. If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. It is recommended to use leather-specific conditioners sparingly to keep the kidskin supple, and avoid abrasive surfaces that might damage the mesh portion of the upper.
