I am a 38.5 in both mid and high rockstud heels. I am looking to get a pair of the flat rockstud sandals and am wondering if I should get a 38.5? The sandals are final sale so I am a bit paranoid, I am 38.5 in chanel flat sandals too. Any advice? Should I go with 38.5 or get 39?

I just managed to purchase a pair of Indaco rockstuds in 36.5 [emoji5]️ I hope it will stretch out!

Hi did they stretch out? I bought a paid today in 35.5 the 36 seem big and now I'm home the 35.5 feel tight now feet are warmer, I'm wondering if so should go back and exchange for the looser pair and try with an insole?? Did yours stretch out??

Hi all, I am looking at getting a pair of the 10cm RS in patent leather... I've previously tried the matte pair in size 39 which is my usual size. They fit well length wise with the exception that my arch was not fitted to the shoes, so my arch was basically hovering above the shoe. (Anyone ever had this problem?)

This website that I'm looking at don't offer 1/2 sizes so I can only choose between 39 or 40. And my feet measures 24.5cm in length. Any advice is appreciated. TIA x

Hi.... My arch is very high, sounds like yours is as well, I put a small arch support in my RS flats. It may not work for the heels though. I would think you would need the 39.

In the 100s, I'm a 37.5. In flats (cage and ballerina) and kitten heels, I'm a 37. I'm a standard US 6.5, but trend at 7/7.5 in CL, Valentino, & Jimmy Choo. I'm thinking you could do a 37.5 in flats.

This is so helpful! I am US 8, Jimmy Choo 38.5, Ferragamo 8-8.5, so do you think in the RS flats I am probably 39?

I would say it depends on the width of your foot. A 39 may be a tad loose if you're narrow, although an insole could fix that. A 38.5 may even work. I sized down from 37 to 36.5 for my latest ballerina flats. They were super snug at first, but are starting to mold to my foot for a perfect fit. My new caged flats in 37 are a good fit, but over time they may get a little loose. If you can't try them on somewhere, you just bite the bullet and take a chance on the best size.

Thanks! I do have narrow feet so maybe the 38.5 is best for non-caged, but for the caged flat, I am thinking maybe the 39 because the cage should hold the shoe on a bit, right? I have a Nordstrom nearby, but none in my size in any flat style, so I am going to order online.

Nordstrom says in their whole system the only size option they have in RS flats in 38.5 or 39 is a 39 in non-caged, in matte black leather with gunmetal studs. It is shipping to me in Seattle from an Arizona store. They will be not be receiving more caged RS flats from Valentino until mid July at the earliest, according to the manager at my store. I will update with the fit when I receive them.

Has anyone tried the classic pump look version (no straps)? I'm seriously considering pulling the trigger but it's sooo hard to find review for these anywhere here and elsewhere (probably because it's a newer version). They look so classic and timeless, with a twist, and not too loud for office wear for me. However I own the matte leather flats (non caged) and they're a tad too big for me (I had to put insoles in). I'm just scared that for big heels they'll be way more uncomfy and harder to fix than flats, given the price. There's no boutique in NZ where I live I'm only counting on you ladies' experience :smile1:

I'm a TTS Italian 35 for the 100mm slingbacks, Gianvito Rossi flexi pumps, and US 4.5 Ferragamo Varina.

Thanks so much!!

I received my matte noir RS flats today, and size 39 fits me well. I am a true US 8, Chanel 39, CL 39, Jimmy Choo 38-38.5, Ferragamo 8. The RS 39 is maybe 1 cm too roomy, but a 38.5 would be too snug. I hope they don't stretch out since they are not patent. I have included some measurements of this helps anyone.

10.2-10.25 inch insole (from as far as the measuring tape would go into the point), 3 inches width at the ball of the foot, 10.5 inches across the sole of the shoe from point to heel.

What size did you order? I am having the same issue. I am a 38.5 in Rockstud slingbacks and I just ordered the sandals in a 38.5. I hope they fit!
