FAQs
Are these loafers true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard European sizing converted to UK sizing; however, leather can stretch slightly over time.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
It is not recommended. The leather soles are not water-resistant and can become damaged or dangerously slippery when wet.
How do I clean the gold-tone VLogo detail?
Wipe the emblem gently with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove dust and maintain its shine.
Is the leather sole replaceable?
Yes, a professional cobbler can resole these shoes once the original sole wears down significantly.
What is the best way to store these shoes?
Always store them in the included dust bags with shoe trees inserted to preserve their structural integrity.
Troubleshooting
Sole is slippery on indoor floors
Consider having a professional cobbler apply a thin rubber topy or protective sole to improve grip.
Minor scuffs on the leather upper
Use a matching leather cream or polish and a soft cloth to gently buff out surface imperfections.
Heel discomfort during initial wear
Use heel grips or wear with thin socks during the break-in period until the leather molds to your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Valentino Garavani shoes last, avoid wearing them in wet or rainy conditions, as moisture can damage the leather sole and upper. If they become damp, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Use a high-quality leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. When not in use, keep the shoes stored in their dust bags in a cool, dry place, and use cedar shoe trees to help maintain the loafer's shape over time.
