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.
Valentino’s sizing isn’t very extreme, and can vary a bit depending on material, color, and of seasonal or permanent. Personally I own seven pairs of the 100 closed toe. I am a true 8, with very unremarkable feet, and own them in 37.5, 38, and 38.5. They all fit. I even went to the store and tried a ton on to experiment. The only difference is maybe 1mm in length and 1mm width in the toe box per a half size. If you have wide feet, you will need to size up to accommodate for that. The leather does give quite quickly, natural leather much more than patent. Open heels are more forgiving than a closed heel, where slippage can occur. The best is to go in store to try on. But there is definitely flexibility in sizing.

Gorgeous shoe, size 1.5 up
I am a true size 8. I bought size 8.5 in the gorgeous light gold color, Platino. They were so right, I couldn't even put the strap on. I waited and waited for months looking for a size 9. I ended up the Skin color. It's a weird pewter with a gray undertone. It doesn't match my wardrobe. I will be returning these and buying either the nude or the full black with gold studs. Gorgeous shoes and impeccable craftsmanship. Just wish they had more quantities in each size.

A gorgeous alternative to traditional nude
These may be the most gorgeous (and comfortable) shoes I’ve ever owned. I was looking for a nude heel, and thought I wanted the poudre. The color was not right on my skin tone. But then I found these. LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. As with all my Rockstuds, I went up a half size.

Rockstuds rock
Stunning.... the pearlescent sheen is perfect ...shoes can be worn day or night. Fabulous with a pair of white jeans or a subtle leopard print dress. Sizing...I read so many reviews and suggestions to size up. I am between size 8 and 8.5. I ordered the size 8.5 and they’re perfect. I also bought the red and pouvre t strap Valentino Rockstud in 8.5. They do seem a bit smaller, but still fit. And from elsewhere, the liquid metal pumps. The pumps are too small. If you have wide feet, go up a full size. Others should go up a half size.

Gorgeous Shoes!
I splurged on these shoes for my wedding day, and I cannot wait to wear them! I have the Valentino Garvani Rockstud Sandal version of these shoes, and they are the most comfortable 4 inch heels I have ever worn - I wear them for hours at a time so I knew I needed to get the closed-toe version for my New Years Eve wedding. These are a bit tighter and may be slightly less comfortable, but they are still a hop-skip-and a jump more bearable than other comparable designers. You definitely get what you pay for with Valentino shoes.

I’m a Rockstud!!!!!
I am over the moon for these Rockstud pumps.!!!They are so very beautiful with a sophisticated edge. I am a size 10 in US/ Nine West size and I ordered the 42 EU which felt like they were made for my feet. I have wide feet and am accustomed to wearing higher heels. I can’t wait to buy another pair.

Absolutely stunning
I bought these in the flagship Seattle store and the service there was incredible. I tried these on without really intending to buy them, but my husband’s reaction sealed the deal. He thinks they are so sexy and so do I! They are actually quite comfortable, but I had to size up 1/2 size from what I normally wear in Manolo Blahnik. This is my first pair of Valentinos so I’m not sure if that’s common or not.

Love!
Gorgeous shoes, but like everyone says order a size up (if you are a 7, order a 7.5), this is my wedding gift for my sister and I know she will love it!

Beautiful, timeless shoe!
Really beautiful, classy, and comfortable high end shoe!
I bought these for an all white party and they’re not only stunning to look at, I can stand in them for a couple of hours with little to no discomfort. I went up a half a size.

Beautiful Statment Shoe
These shoes are beautiful & comfortable to walk on. Every girl needs a pair! I got a 38 & I’m a size 8 they still managed to fit. However at 38.5 would’ve been a great fit as well!
