Hi ladies, I am new to Valentino heels and I would really appreciate your advice regarding sizing:
I found these T-strap beauties in size 37.5 EUR but I am a bit afraid they might be a bit too big.
I am a standard 37 EUR, and have quite skinny ankles. Do you think I could fit them? :) Should I risk it?

Hello girls.

I have the classic 100 rockstud heels in 38.5 and now i want the boots, are the sizes same? And are they as comfy as my classic? Please help.

I mainly wear the kitten heels but have one pair of heels and a pair of ankle boots. across the board I'm a 38.5 and don't have issues with any pairs that I have with that size.
 
hi all, i just got my first pair of rockstud pumps and they fit snugly (see photos). the sole of my feet are right on the edge and the back part of my foot hangs slightly over. im a bit far from the only department store that sells them here to try another size on (i ordered online and they only had 36 left in this colour).
i was wondering in your experience, would the straps on 36.5 be too loose? my ankle is quite small. i know ages ago i tried a pair on and the straps were too lose but i remember the shoe fit nicely but i cant remember what size it was! will the straps stretch at all (the one on that goes around the left foot is a bit snug) and will the toe part stretch at all seeing as its patent leather? my toe area feels a tiny bit cramped down there! not too sure if the 36.5 would make it all a bit too loose? please help!Photo on 10-12-2016 at 4.31 PM #2.jpg Photo on 10-12-2016 at 4.31 PM #3.jpg Photo on 10-12-2016 at 4.31 PM.jpg

These actually look perfect on you in pics, so I'd say wear them around house w heavy socks and they'll be fine. The color is too pretty on you to return.

But if it feels uncomfortable walking around the house, then you should get a bigger sz. I don't think the straps vary too much on them.

Still loving these. Might I ask where you got them from and what color is this called?
 
Hi girls! I just got a pair of the Rockstud ballet flats (non-caged) and as most have noted, they run a bit large. Sizing down is not an option since I'm a 35 in Valentinos and there are no smaller sizes in the color I want. :sad:

These non-caged ballet flats don't slip off when I walk, but they're barely hanging on. If I shove my foot all the way forward there's about a finger's width of space at the heel, but then my toes are squished up front. In your experience, would it be better to put in a heel-gripper at the back or go with a half insole in front to fill in the space?

FWIW, I'm TTS (35) in the classic and kitten Rockstud heels. I also have the caged flats in 35 which also run big, but since they have straps they never come off.


TIA for your advice!

I think they look perfect. Such a great color.

sorry my comment may be a bit late but I think they fit you perfectly. Patent leather stretches, although not as much as matte leather. I personally the length of the rockstud straps so inconsistent, so you never know if you decide to size up that it may be too loose on you. Looking at your photos, I think that's how they're supposed to look, as you don't want the shoe heels to be longer than your feet.

I have the exact same experience with Valentino non-caged ballet flats (I own 1 pair of non-caged flats, 2 pairs of patent kitten heels, 1 pair 10mm heels)

I have no clue why the US department stores advise sizing up on their website, as that would be huge for my feet, therefore I never go for US sizing, always Italian. I'm a TTS 35 (all designer shoes) too. In my experience, I found getting the whole foot-long insoles plus the cushion to be the best, as not only they offer you some support (which the super flat Valentino ballerinas don't give you), they also help protect the actual shoes' insolves (you won't get sweat and dirt marks on the actual designer's insoles). I hope I'm making sense.
