Reviewers of Valentino footwear note that copycat/dupe versions of the brand's designs are widespread, and that the dupes they have handled did not match the original's level of finish and detail — a caveat for buyers evaluating a non-official listing.

View QC PhotosQuick verdict
A metal-logo flat slide in the listing's stated calfskin and rubber outsole, offered in EU 39–45. No buyer reports exist for this exact pair; the available sizing signals come from Valentino footwear generally and point in opposite directions. If the look suits you, pick a full size and confirm the agent's return window first.

Pros
- · Listing states an imported calfskin upper with a rubber outsole.
- · Metal-logo flat slide silhouette, listed in gray, with the size run spelled out as EU 39–45.
- · Listing states full packaging is included.
- · Catalog describes the sole as soft and durable — a product description, not a tested result.
Cons
- · Whole EU sizes only, 39 through 45; there is no half size to bridge the gap.
- · No buyer reports on this exact listing; the sizing signals available come from Valentino footwear generally and conflict with each other.
- · Reviewers of Valentino footwear note that dupes of the brand's designs are widespread and the copies they handled fell short of the original's finish and detail — a general caveat on non-official listings, not a finding about this pair.
Fit notes
EU 39–45, whole sizes only, so half-size wearers must choose a direction. Forum posters say Valentino flats run about half a size large, and some owners size up in open-toe slides for a roomier fit; a FashionReps QC buyer, by contrast, found a Valentino sneaker ran very small. No sizing report covers this slide.
Buy if
You want a low-effort metallic-logo slide, you wear a whole EU size between 39 and 45, and you accept that fit here is a judgment call rather than a known quantity. You read the stated calfskin and rubber outsole as the listing's spec, not a tested result.
Skip if
You need a half size, or independent buyer reports on this exact pair before committing. Nothing in the available claims resolves how this particular slide fits, so a buyer who needs that certainty is better served elsewhere.

Buying FAQ
Common questions
How do these slides fit?⌄
There is no fit report for this exact slide. The closest evidence is category-level: forum posters say Valentino flats tend to run roughly half a size larger than usual, while some owners deliberately size up in open-toe slides.
What sizes does the listing offer?⌄
EU 39 through 45, whole sizes only — no half sizes are listed, so half-size wearers have to pick which full size to take.
Is Valentino footwear sizing consistent across models?⌄
Not according to the available claims: a forum thread describes flats running large while posters size up in heels, and a FashionReps QC buyer of a Valentino sneaker said the pair ran ridiculously small. Treat the listed number as a starting point, not a match.
What materials does the listing state?⌄
The listing names an imported calfskin upper, a rubber outsole, and full packaging. Those are catalog specs rather than independently verified results.
Are there buyer reviews of this specific listing?⌄
None appear in the available claims. The sizing and quality notes above come from Valentino footwear discussions generally and should not be read as findings about this pair.
Evidence
Public notes used
Forum buyers report Valentino flat shoes (the category these slides belong to) tend to run roughly half a size larger than their usual size; one buyer who normally wears a US 8/38 said she took a 38.5 in Valentino flats and only that pair fit perfectly, while most posters said to size up in Valentino heels but not in flats.
SourceSome Valentino owners deliberately size up in open-toe slides because a roomier fit is considered to look and wear better than a snug one; a poster said the only thong-style sandal she bought was a 39 even though her normal size is 38/8.
SourceValentino replica footwear sizing is inconsistent across models: a FashionReps QC buyer of a Valentino sneaker said the pair "run ridiculously small" and had to size up, so the product line's sizing cannot be assumed to match the listed number.
SourceThe listing offers only whole EU sizes 39–45 with no half sizes, so buyers who normally wear a half size must choose which full size to take.
