Yolande Bow Pointed Toe Mule Pump

The shoes came in dirty and they look worn, and there was a piece of somebody’s hair inside of the packaging. Unacceptable from Nordstrom.

Really wanted to love these shoes but the bows are so big one foot would hit the other as I tried to walk. Also even though it barely has a heel the shoe didn’t offer a lot of stability. The one redeeming quality is that they are comfortable once you put them in just not when you walk with them. Really wanted to love but back they go.

I was going to give these as a gift but had to return because the box arrived smashed.

I’ve been impressed with Valentino’s recent collections under Alessandro Michele, especially the rich velvet and embroidered Fall/Winter pieces that feel fresh and elegant. I own five pairs of Valentino shoes, including Rockstud pumps, crystal slingbacks, and bow-detail flats. They’re well made, comfortable, and beautifully finished. Lightweight and refined, they work for both special occasions and everyday wear—definitely a worthwhile investment.
