View QC PhotosQuick verdict
For buyers who want a black D&G slide and can confirm measurements before ordering. The listing documents the mold work, lettering placement and leather outsole; sizing and durability reports about D&G slides elsewhere conflict or cite early sole failure, and nothing verifies this pair. Ask the agent for insole measurements.
Reference price
$22.39 USD $23.76Final item price, service fees and international shipping are confirmed on the shopping agent's website.
Pros
- · Listing specifies a private-mold leather outsole — a construction spec, not a durability result.
- · Per the catalog, lettering is molded into the upper and into the rear midsole and outsole on both the left and right shoe.
- · An unboxing reviewer of D&G calfskin slides judged the leather good quality while calling the sole hard — related coverage, not a test of this pair.
Cons
- · Public D&G complaints include a sole peeling after two wears and a pair that broke after one wear; neither concerns this listing.
- · Sizing guidance is not unanimous, so a single size-up or size-down rule cannot be applied.
- · The one related unboxing review describes the sole as hard.
Fit notes
Reports conflict: one source calls D&G slides small and advises a full size up; another describes a snug, narrow-feet fit with a half size up; a third found them slightly large and suggests sizing down between sizes. Stocked sizes run 39–45 within the listed 38–46 range. Confirm insole length in millimeters with the agent.
Buy if
You want a black one-strap slide in a stocked 39–45 and are willing to order by measured insole length rather than a size number. The catalog's molded-lettering and leather-sole details match what you're after, and you accept that fit gets confirmed with the agent.
Skip if
You want one sizing rule to follow — the public reports disagree, so neither "go up one size" nor "size down" applies cleanly here. Skip if prior D&G slides have given you sole-separation trouble, or if you need independent testing behind the pair.

Buying FAQ
Common questions
How should I size these slides?⌄
Public guidance splits three ways — up one size, up half a size for narrow feet, or down between sizes. Ask the agent for the insole measurement in millimeters and match it to a shoe you already own.
Which sizes are stocked?⌄
The listing states a 38–46 range with 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44 and 45 specified. Confirm availability at your size with the agent before ordering.
What does the listing say about construction?⌄
It describes an original mold, a private-mold leather outsole, correct large lettering, correct rear midsole and outsole lettering on both shoes, and full packaging.
Are there durability complaints?⌄
There are public D&G reports of a sole peeling after two wears and a pair failing after one wear, plus one reviewer calling the sole hard. None involve this listing, so read them as brand-level reports rather than a forecast for this pair.
Is the leather quality confirmed?⌄
No independent test of this pair exists. The only related quality note comes from an unboxing review of different D&G calfskin slides, which rated the leather good and the sole hard.
