A Chinese news report describes a buyer of an LV sandal (about 8,450 yuan) who saw color transfer/fading at the foot-contact area after only a short period of wear; LV reportedly told her it was wear-related and not covered, which is a recurring complaint topic for LV flat sandals.

View QC PhotosQuick verdict
A summer thong sandal listed in orange, with multiple colors and a size run spanning 35–45 (45 as a custom option). No independent buyer reports describe this exact listing, so the fit guidance below comes from LV sandal discussion generally. Ask the seller for the insole measurement of this style before ordering.
Reference price
$22.39 USD $24.24Final item price, service fees and international shipping are confirmed on the shopping agent's website.
Pros
- · Listing describes a wear-resistant, lightweight, soft sole under a thong upper intended for summer casual wear.
- · Spec sheet lists sizes 35–45, with 45 handled as a custom option, and multiple colors beyond the orange named in the title.
Cons
- · A Chinese news report on another LV flat sandal describes color transfer and fading at the foot-contact area after brief wear; LV treated it as wear-related rather than covered, and it is a recurring complaint theme for that silhouette.
Fit notes
The spec sheet lists 35–45, with 38–44 as the core range and 45 custom. Buyer discussion on LV sandals splits: one buyer found a 39 true to size, while others advise half to a full size up, with a half size up suggested for a high instep. Request the insole length for this style.
Buy if
You want a casual summer thong sandal and are willing to confirm the fit yourself: ask for the insole measurement, compare it against a sandal you already own, and order only after that check.
Skip if
You need a sandal whose fit is settled in advance, or you want documented coverage for surface finish at the foot-contact area. LV sandal sizing varies by style, and the one quality report in hand involves another model.

Buying FAQ
Common questions
Do these run true to size?⌄
Buyer discussion on LV sandals gives mixed answers: one buyer reported a 39 fitting true to size, while other reviews recommend going up half to a full size. Fit appears to vary by specific style, so confirm the insole measurement for this one.
What sizes and colors are listed?⌄
The spec sheet lists 35 through 45, with the main range given as 38–44 and 45 as a custom order. The title names orange, and the listing states multiple colors are available.
Should I worry about fading or color transfer?⌄
The one quality claim in hand concerns a different LV flat sandal, where a buyer reported fading at the foot-contact area and LV attributed it to wear. It is not a report about this listing, so treat it as something to ask the seller about rather than a confirmed issue here.
What should I confirm before ordering?⌄
Ask for the insole length and width of this style and compare them to a sandal you already wear, since LV sandal fit varies by model and the high-instep advice points to sizing up.
Evidence
Public notes used
Buyer discussion suggests LV sandal fit depends heavily on the specific style: some models run true to size, others run big or small, and many buyers end up sizing down about half a size, so checking the individual style is advised rather than assuming one universal LV sandal size.
SourceIn an LV sandal fit thread, a buyer reported the sandals ran true to size for them, with a size 39 fitting perfectly.
SourceA sandal sizing review recommends going up a full size in at least one LV flat/thong sandal style because it runs a little small.
SourceOne buyer noted the monogram version of an LV flat sandal felt roomier than the plain version: at a true size 38 she took 38.5, and found the monogram pair had a little extra room.
SourceOn PurseForum, LV flat shoes are described as running small and cutting into the top of the foot, with advice to order a half size up if you have a high instep.
