FAQs
What is the heel height of the VLogo 80 pumps?
The '80' in the name refers to the heel height, which is approximately 80mm (or 8cm / 3.15 inches).
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The pumps feature a pointed toe, which can run narrower. Compatibility with wider feet depends on individual foot shape; trying them on is recommended if possible.
How should I clean the blue patent leather?
Wipe gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture. For stubborn marks, use a cleaner specifically designed for patent leather.
What materials are the sole and insole made of?
The insole is made of leather, and the sole is a combination of leather and rubber for durability and grip.
Do these pumps come with a dust bag?
Yes, the Valentino Garavani VLogo 80 slingback pumps include a dust bag and a shoe box for storage and protection.
Can I wear these shoes for long periods?
While designed for comfort with a leather insole, the 80mm heel height means they are best suited for events where extended standing or walking might be limited. For maximum comfort, ensure a proper fit.
What does 'Made in Italy' signify?
It signifies that the shoes have been manufactured in Italy, a country renowned for its high standards in luxury footwear design and craftsmanship.
Troubleshooting
Scuff marks on patent leather
Gently buff the scuff mark with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, a specialized patent leather cleaner can be used sparingly, followed by a gentle polish with a soft cloth.
Buckle fastening feels loose or tight
Adjust the buckle to the appropriate hole on the strap for a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure the strap is correctly threaded through the buckle.
Slingback strap slipping
Ensure the buckle is fastened correctly. If the issue persists, the shoe may be slightly too large, or a subtle padding insert for the heel area might provide a more snug fit.
Leather sole shows wear
For minor wear, a leather conditioner can help maintain the sole. For significant wear, take the shoes to a reputable cobbler for sole repair or reinforcement.
