Valentino sneakers in white and gold

I like my first pair of Valentino sneakers so much I am getting a second pair in different colour.

Valentino Rockstud ankle strap flats in pink leather

 More from the Rockstud collection. Was a bit unsure about the many straps (gladiator sandals not really my thing) but I think the lighter colour make the straps stand out less, or so I hope. True to size.

Valentino Rockstud flats in black leather

 Something easy for the summer to go with covid casual. Buy half size down for snug fit.

Valentino pumps 100mm in black suede

They are my winter favourites these days. Nice shape, great support and they go with everything from jeans to dresses. I even bought another pair in grey to try on but ended up returning them. Somehow the heels look too clunky in lighter shade. Shame. True to size.

Valentino Rockstud pumps 85mm in nude leather

My attempt to have shoes at a more friendly height so I can wear them all day and night. However it's not happening with these shoes.  They have to be one of the most uncomfortable shoes I have ever had, even at 85mm.  They compare to my Zara-shoe nightmares.  I have tried them on 3 times now and each time my feet would become ever so painful. Will avoid Valentino heels from now on.

Valentino sneakers in white and baby pink

My first pair of designer sneakers....they don't feel any more comfortable than Adidas, but they feel quite luxurious. And they look a lot less scruffy then my usual sneakers.  I prefer white "hidden" studs as suppose to metal ones.  Less is more!  True to size (surprisingly)!

Valentino Tango block-heel pumps 60mm in red patent

I did it! I finally got a pair of Tango. I was hoping to get a pair with ankle straps but then I came across these and they look and fit fab!  They will be a good replacement of the experimental pair I got earlier.  As much as I like the previous pair I can not stand non-leather insoles.  True to size.

Valentino Rockstud ankle strap pumps 100mm in green and black patent

Finally, I jumped on the stud wagon.  I held out for at least 2 (or maybe 3?) years because I'm not really a rockstar kind of gal.  I couldn't walk away from this pair, for green is my favourite color.  Will pair them with cigarette pants to vamp them up!  Buy one size up. 

Valentino platform d'orsay 105mm in black patent

When I saw these shoes in Harrods my heart was racing so much I had to walk away to cool off.  Five minutes later I found myself running back to the shoe department to try them on.  They came in hot pink, red and black but my size was sold out with pink and red.  Well at least I didn't have to make a painful decision between red and black.  They seem a lot higher than 105mm for some reason.  Perhaps it's the elegant elongated shaped heels.  Love the bows.  I take them out to admire them from time to time!  Buy half size up.
