View QC PhotosQuick verdict
A flat black slide with a metal logo, listed in EU 39–45 with calf-leather upper and rubber outsole. Available buyer claims cover Valentino slides generally, not this listing, and they split on sizing. If you order, start from a centimetre measurement against the size chart rather than your usual size.

Pros
- · Listing states an imported calf-leather upper with a metal logo on a flat slide silhouette
- · Listing states a rubber outsole and describes the construction as soft and durable
- · Listing states full packaging is included
- · Listed in EU 39–45, a range that covers larger sizes
Cons
- · One luxury buyer reported Valentino Garavani footwear soles peeling and showing heel damage after a single wear — a brand-level report, not a test of this listing
- · Buyers warn Valentino slides are widely copied, so logo and finish inspection matters
Fit notes
Claims conflict. One buyer source says Valentino V-logo slides run somewhat small; aggregated retailer fit data rates the VLogo slide true to size on average. Rep-community advice is to measure your foot in centimetres against the size chart — roughly 26 cm maps to EU 42/43. One reviewer at US 7.5 took EU 37.5.
Buy if
You want a low-profile black logo slide and you're willing to confirm your size by measuring your foot in centimetres against the listing's chart before ordering. Buyers in rep communities report this method for Valentino slides, since sizing reports conflict.
Skip if
You want sizing settled before you buy, or you'd rather not inspect logo detailing and finish on arrival. Sources conflict on whether Valentino slides run small or true to size, and buyers note the brand's slides are widely copied.

Buying FAQ
Common questions
Do these run true to size?⌄
Sources disagree. Aggregated retailer fit data for the Valentino VLogo slide rates it true to size on average, while one buyer source reports the slides running somewhat small and using Italian/EU sizing.
How should I choose a size?⌄
Measure your foot in centimetres and match it to the listing's size chart rather than your usual size — rep-community buyers advise this, citing roughly 26 cm to EU 42/43. Retailers also suggest sizing up when you're between sizes.
What does the listing say about materials?⌄
The listing states an imported calf-leather upper, a rubber outsole, and full packaging included. It does not detail lining, insole, or hardware finish.
What should I check when the slides arrive?⌄
Buyers warn that copied Valentino slides often look cheap against the original's detailing, so check the metal logo and overall finish. One luxury buyer also reported sole peeling on Valentino Garavani footwear, so examine the outsole and heel.
Evidence
Public notes used

SourceBuyers report Valentino's V-logo slides run somewhat small and use Italian/EU sizing, so many shoppers end up needing a larger size than usual.
SourceAggregated retailer customer fit data for the Valentino VLogo slide sandals rates the fit as true to size on average.
SourceFor larger feet, rep-community buyers advise measuring your foot in centimetres and matching it to the listing size chart instead of trusting your usual size (for example, a 26 cm foot corresponds to roughly EU 42/43).
SourceA reviewer whose usual size is US 7.5 found EU 37.5 fit perfectly, and notes Valentino's Italian sizing is confusing and that retailers suggest sizing up when between sizes.
