FAQs
What is the heel height of these pumps?
These shoes feature a 100mm stiletto heel.
Are these shoes true to size?
The Valentino Garavani Rockstud pumps generally follow standard Italian sizing; we recommend checking your UK size equivalent carefully.
How should I clean the lacquered studs?
Gently wipe the studs with a slightly damp, soft cloth, followed by an immediate buff with a dry cloth to prevent water spots.
Can I have these re-soled?
Yes, high-end leather soles can be professionally re-soled by a cobbler to extend the life of the footwear.
Are the studs prone to falling off?
The studs are securely integrated into the design, but avoid excessive friction against rough surfaces to keep them pristine.
Troubleshooting
Strap buckle feels loose
Check if the buckle prong is fully seated in the hole; if the strap continues to loosen, ensure there is no debris inside the buckle mechanism.
Leather surface scuffs
Use a high-quality, matching black leather cream or polish to gently buff out minor surface abrasions.
Heel tip wear
The rubber heel tips are wear-and-tear items; consult a professional cobbler to replace them before the metal core is exposed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your pumps remain in peak condition, store them in their provided dust bag when not in use to prevent scuffing. For the leather, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away dust and debris after each wear. If the shoes become wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources to avoid leather cracking. Given the specific design, ensure the ankle straps are fastened snugly—but not overly tight—to maintain the structural integrity of the fastening holes over time.
