It's hard to tell from the seller's photo what the buckle is made from. If it is colored enamel, it will not have RV engraved.

You said that you bought these shoes? The eBay listing you posted is still active.

I don't know what the metro square is that you're referring to but from the limited photos they appear to be authentic.

The Belle Vivier's that you inquired about are consistent with the Belle Vivier's that I purchased directly from RV, without an engraved buckle.

Ladies, I am RV newbie and have questions about gommette flats. Are they comfy and all coming with 10mm hidden heels? I looked thru the thread and didn't seen to find answers


I have Asian wide feet and don't live near any stores carrying RV. I tried on the 45mm belle for the first time but didn't realize the flats have hidden heels so I didn't try them on. (I need some heels but can't handle high heels and not a flat person either)

Which one do you recommend in terms of comfy? The ballet flats are so cute

I love the gommette's and have them in many many colors. If you have a wide foot maybe order them in a half size up? Or maybe get them in the leather or suede which will definitely stretch. They are totally my go to flats.

Hi! I'm a big fan of Roger Vivier, and I have both styles. I love the flats. 10mm is not a hidden heel, it is the standard tiny flat heel you see at the back in one of the photos. They are super comfy and wide also due to the almond toe. I order a half size larger because I like to be able to walk around in the city all day in them.

I do not like the 45mm square toe. I used to love them and had several pairs, but the toe is tight and quite frankly, the toe part is very long, so over time, the front gets a little crease and it looks weird. Also, for some reason, this is the only style where the buckle hurts my foot. At the end of the day, my feet hurt from being squished and buckle hitting my top foot so I told myself never to buy another 45mm.

If you want a medium heel, I would recommend the classic Belle in 65mm. There is a photo posted earlier. It is the classic almond toe and has a lot of room. It also comes in other heel heights, like 85mm, 100mm, but my favorite is the 65mm. The heel is medium height but it is still elegant looking. And I can wear this shoe all day long, and walking in the city. No problems at all.

Good luck!

Hi willeyi,
Do you also have the small buckle 45mm sandals? If yes, are those comfortable and how's the fit? I have only bought Belle Vivier and Belle de Nuit so far and am thinking of getting the sandals. I tried the big buckle sandal flats last year in Paris but I didn't like them 'cos the heavy buckle is not secured in place with the thin straps. It wasn't comfortable with the heavy buckle around and rested directly on my feet.

Hi! I used to have the 45mm buckle sandal but it was not comfy and did not fit me well. For some reason, it kept sliding down and then it hurt my feet. I am all about comfort for shoes. Plus, I thought the heel didn't quite fit the look for a sandal, but that is just me.

I love the flat big buckle sandal. It's called Chips. It is super comfy and I get a lot if compliments when I wear them as they are very unique and stand out, even for those who do not know RV. The Chips flat thong sandals are great.

As for sizing, I wear a 37.5 in RV sandals.

By the way, on the RV buckle flats, they come with either a rubber sole bottom or a leather bottom. I love the rubber sole bottom (no worrying about slipping) but I find the leather sole bottoms a slightly bit dressier. Both are very comfortable and both look great.

Hope this helps!

By the way, I forgot to mention in my post above...since you said you have wide feet, you will love RV. I have wide feet too, and the almond or buckle pumps and buckle gonna flats fit me great.

There is a pony hair leopard print flat that is really pretty, at least to me. If you wear a more classic outfit, those shoes really stand out. I think it's my favorite flat now.

Have fun with RV!

I have to admit though... The most comfortable flats in the world are Chanel ballet flats. They are my true love... Like walking on air. Try those too!
