FAQs
What material are the Valentino Garavani Open Trainers made of?
These trainers are crafted from 100% calf leather with a rubber sole.
What is the sole height of these trainers?
The sole height is 2.5 cm.
Are these trainers suitable for athletic activities?
While comfortable for walking, these trainers are primarily designed as fashion footwear and not for intense athletic performance.
How should I clean the white leather?
Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For tougher stains, a specialized leather cleaner designed for white leather is recommended, following the product's instructions carefully.
Do these trainers come in other colors?
The product information specifies a white and blue colorway. Please refer to available listings for other potential color options.
What does the 'Open' in Open Trainers refer to?
The 'Open' designation typically refers to the specific design line within Valentino Garavani's footwear collection, characterized by its distinctive aesthetic and often including signature elements like the studs.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the rubber sole offers some protection, the calf leather is not inherently waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions. Applying a waterproofing spray can offer some protection.
Troubleshooting
Leather scuffs or marks easily
Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner and test on an inconspicuous area first. Applying a protective spray can help prevent future marks.
Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the rubber sole is clean and free from debris. For very smooth surfaces, consider a gentle scuffing of the sole with fine-grit sandpaper to increase traction, though this may slightly affect the sole's appearance.
Laces become worn or dirty
Replace laces with new ones of similar length and material. They can often be cleaned separately by hand washing.
Studs become loose or damaged
Contact customer support or a reputable cobbler specializing in high-end footwear for repair or replacement of individual studs.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For stubborn marks on the leather, a specialized leather cleaner may be used sparingly, following product instructions.
- Protection: Consider using a waterproof and stain-repellent spray specifically designed for leather to protect against the elements and spills. Reapply periodically.
- Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. Avoid storing in plastic bags, as leather needs to breathe.
- Suede/Studs: If the trainers feature suede elements or delicate studs, use appropriate brushes and cleaning agents for those specific materials.
