Full details

The Valentino Garavani Pool Slide Coolside is designed for adults seeking stylish comfort for poolside or casual wear. Its primary benefit is the blend of high-fashion aesthetics with practical, everyday wearability, thanks to its rubber construction and ergonomic insole. A minor caveat is its specific use case, best suited for warm weather and casual settings rather than athletic activities. This slider features a slip-on design, a wide strap with the signature embossed VLogo, and a moulded footbed for enhanced comfort.

FAQs

Are these slides suitable for swimming?

While they are water-resistant and designed for poolside, they are not recommended for actual swimming as they may come off easily.

How do I determine the correct size?

This guide entry is for UK size 12. It is recommended to check the brand's sizing chart or compare with your usual footwear size. These slides are designed for a comfortable, relaxed fit.

Can I wear these slides in the shower?

Yes, the rubber construction makes them suitable for use in showers or around wet areas like locker rooms.

What is the heel height?

The heel height is approximately 1.2 inches (3 cm).

How should I clean off dirt or marks?

Use a damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and marks. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

They are made of 100% rubber.

Do they come in other colors?

This specific product is the black version. Please refer to other listings or the brand's official catalog for available color variations.

Troubleshooting

Slides feel slightly stiff initially

This is normal for new rubber footwear. Wear them around the house for short periods to break them in. The insole will conform to your foot shape over time.

Slipping on wet surfaces

While water-resistant, the rubber sole can become slippery when extremely wet. Exercise caution on highly polished or very wet tile surfaces. Ensure the footbed is dry before wearing.

Discoloration after sun exposure

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, as this can cause the black rubber to fade or change color. Store them properly when not in use.
