Valentino Garavani

When considering legendary Italian fashion house Valentino, three words come to mind: luxurious, bold and iconic. For more than 50 years, Valentino has been a cornerstone of the international fashion scene, creating evocative fragrances, statement-making ready-to-wear, and signature shoes and handbags (under the Valentino Garavani label) with haute couture craftsmanship.

worth the wait

I saw these shoes last year at the holiday party circuit. I couldn't afford them last year, and purchased a pair of red patent flats that cost about 12 dollars as a replacement. This year my family and I have gone through a few challenges to say the least, births, deaths, and illness. I told myself if I could make it to December, I was going to treat myself to the "rockstud". Well, I barely made it, but I purchased the "rockstud" as a way to reward myself for enduring adversity. Nordstrom was kind enough to let me use 3 different methods of payment, and these babies were shipped to me in 2 days. THEY ARE WORTH EVERY SINGLE PENNY, and make me so happy this holiday season, when it will be a difficult one to say the least. These shoes are beautiful, comfortable, and the perfect red to say Merry Christmas. (and bring a smile to my heart year round, when it may otherwise be hard to.) Thank you for making such a beautiful shoe.

Studs fall off

I have a couple pairs of rockstud shoes and although I love the way they look, the studs all fall off. For this price, the shoes should be of better quality.

Go at least 1/2 up

I am a US7 and true IT37. If you are like me you should definitely go half a size up. I tried both the 37 and 37.5 in both regular and patent leather and the 37.5 always felt more comfortable straight out of the box. I think the 38 would be much too big (or at least require a LOT of padding). The 37 definitely "fit" but it was tight. I have absolutely no faith in these shoes (regular leather or patent) to loosen up. Save yourself having to wear blister plasters and go at least half a size up!

Valentino "Rockstuds"

Beautiful shoe, unfortunately I had to return. After lusting after all the Valentino "Rockstud" shoes, finally ordered the flats. I have a medium width foot, and the width of the shoe was not the problem. It is just too shallow. I don't care for a shoe that you can see under my arches and so much of my foot. I felt that it wouldn't stay on properly as well. Perhaps sizing down? would help, but I just didn't care for the low profile of this on the sides of my feet. Glad at least to have seen a pair in person, and given them a try. I'm sure others can wear this without a problem, just didn't work for me.

1/2 size down for smaller sizes

I looooove Valentino shoes. They are comfortable due to a wide toe box and great construction. For the heels I wear a 35. In these I had to size down to a 34.5. My friend is normally a 4.5 to a 5 and she had to get a 34. Typically general sizing advice rarely applies to the smaller sizes and I find this to be true for this shoe as well. I'm a true size 5 and in boots wear a 5.5 for socks/comfort. My foot is wide at the front and is a little chubby at the top hence my sizing preferences. But yeah, I had to size DOWN in these.

Gorgeous but too small

I have been obsessing over this rockstud line since discovering it. I am an American size 10B and have 2 other rockstud styles that are heels in size 41/11. However, these are a different story. I tried the 41 in red at the store and though it was the most beautiful flat I have ever seen, it was too small. I think I would need a 41.5, which I had to find elsewhere because Nordstrom did not carry this size. The front of the shoe is tight fitting and if you have any bunion action going on the tightness is going to aggravate that. Also the vamp is lower than say it would be on a Tory Burch flat, which limits the space in the front of the shoe. That said, I went up 1.5 sizes as opposed to my usual 1 size up.

Versatility

I love these flats! I got the army green color with gold pyramid studs and absolutely love them. The neutral based color makes it very versatile; I can dress it up or dress it down. I'm used to wearing flats so they are pretty comfy for me, but I know some people need more support on their feet. But overall I think these are well made for anyone to wear!

terrible

These are by far one of the most uncomfortable shoes I own. I really wanted to love them and thought over time they would get more comfortable, not the case. Terrible shoe, beyond uncomfortable

very uncomfortable

Had to return these bc they are so uncomfortable. I have two other rockstuds in varying height heels and both are more comfy than this flat. The soles are hard and they don't have any give whatsoever so by the end of the day I was hobbling around. They run a little small too like the other shoes in the rockstud family. Swapped these out for Chanel ballet flats which are 100times more comfy

The Perfect Flat

I finally jumped on the band bagon and purchased my first Valentino Flat today. After so long contemplating on colors, I finally came across the Water Rose; I absolutely love them. They are very chic, run a little narrow but i'm sure after a few wears they will mold to my feet. I would recommend going for the NON-PANTENT its much softer and more comfy. I tried to do the patent powder but I couldn't get past the stiffness for the price point. Overall great pair. Chic, Versatile and elavates any casual outfit. Obssesed!

Beautiful, discomfort for sure but I still give 5 start because it is beautiful. It is not a shoe to wear all day.

LOVE THIS SHOE!!

I have loved Valentino's rock stud collection from it's first debut. And, although I love the styles with all the straps, I don't have the patience to put them on nor do I have a lifestyle where I'd get use of the more elaborate styles. Thus, this flat is PERFECT. THe pale yellow is absolutely gorgeous and right on trend with all of the "sorbet" colors coming this spring. It is a low cut shoe - part of the style - but it stays on the foot well. I normally wear a 7 or 7 1/2 - bought the 7 1/2 and it fits perfect. Very happy with this purchase!
