Pros
Cons
Fit notes
Sizing is Italian/EU. Valentino slide buyers recommend choosing by measured foot length: a 26 cm foot fits EU 42/43. Chinese sizing notes say Valentino footwear runs slightly small for wide feet or a high instep, suggesting a half size up. Retailers advise sizing up when between sizes.

Skip if
You need buyer-verified fit or durability on this exact slide, or you are unwilling to consider a half size up for a wide foot or a high instep.

Buying FAQ
No. The claim record contains no review of this listing; the sizing guidance comes from Valentino footwear generally, retail advice to size up between sizes, and Chinese sizing notes.
The listing states an imported calf-leather upper, a rubber outsole, and a metal logo. These are seller-stated specifications and are not independently verified.
Two buyers report failures on other Valentino models: peeling soles on a Garavani shoe and a pulled toe separator on a VLogo rubber sandal. Neither report concerns this slide.
Retailers recommend sizing up when between sizes, and Valentino slide buyers suggest choosing by measured foot length rather than defaulting to a larger size.
The spec lists 39 through 45, while the feature text mentions 38–45. Confirm the exact size you need with the seller before ordering.
Evidence
A buyer reports that a Valentino Garavani shoe's soles were significantly peeling and deteriorating after a single wear, with visible damage to the heel area.
SourceA customer reviewing Valentino VLogo rubber sandals reported the toe separator pulled out of the shoe base while walking after only a handful of wears, even though the shoe otherwise still looked new.
SourceSome reviewers describe Valentino slides as having a super comfortable fit and being comfortable enough to wear all day, with fit reported as true to size in that case.
SourceValentino sandals are sold in Italian/EU sizing, which buyers say can be confusing; a reviewer who normally wears US 7.5 fit EU 37.5 perfectly, and retailers recommend sizing up when between sizes.
SourceFor Valentino slides, buyers recommend choosing size by measured foot length rather than defaulting to a larger size: a 26 cm foot fits EU 42/43, and one buyer said an EU 42 would also have worked.
SourceChinese sizing guidance for Valentino footwear suggests the sizing runs slightly small, especially for wider feet or a high instep, so buyers are advised to consider a half size up (e.g., 37.5 or 38).
