Popular Valentino Shoe Repair Services
We perform all sorts of shoe repair and restoration services, but here are a few of the most popular services we offer for Valentino shoes.
Soles
We restore or repair the soles on Valentino shoes as well as protect them with thin rubber soles that offer far greater longevity and grip than naked leather soles. Learn more about our shoe sole protectors and shoe sole repair services.
Heels
We replace heel tips, shorten heels, replace broken heels, and repair scratched and torn heels, including by re-covering them with new leather. Learn more about our various shoe heel repair services.
Cleaning / restoration
We polish/shine uppers in case of minor scuffing. We clean, condition and even recolour leathers and other materials where they are heavily scuffed, cracked or discoloured. Learn more about our shoe restoration and cleaning services.
Stretching
We mechanically wear in Valentino shoes to stretch the leather and ensure a more comfortable fit, especially around the toes and for those with wider feet.
Inner linings
When linings are torn, most commonly around the wearer's heels or alongside the wearer's toes, we recraft or patch up the lining to reinforce it and prevent further tearing.
Water / stain protection
We treat leather with water and stain protectors to help ensure the leather uppers retain a look no less lively and impressive than that of a brand new pair.

Why you should get a Valentino shoe repair
Valentino Garavani's shoes have been worn by Hollywood stars, royalty and socialites since the Italian fashion house's founding in the 1960s. The brand's iconic collection of Rockstud shoes in particular offers perhaps the most recognisable design motif in luxury footwear. Slipping on a pair of Valentinos, we get not only a feeling of indulgence but also the understanding that our elegant sense of style will not be lost on the world.
For good reason, you have probably worn your Valentinos whenever the opportunity has arisen. And though the shoes were expertly crafted from the finest materials, they have become mere shadows of their former selves through wear and tear. The heel tips might be so worn that the shoes are now unbalanced, causing you leg cramps and even back pain, or the soles are worn through so much that you are now walking on the immaculate calfskin or patent leather uppers.
And yet, you cannot bear to part with your Valentinos. They have been at your side for so long and perhaps were a gift from a loved one or a hefty investment on your own part. Sending these otherwise precious shoes to landfill, along with the piles of fast fashion endlessly adding to unnecessary environmental waste, is plainly unthinkable.
Now is the time to consider getting a Valentino shoe repair. We are here to make sure they never have to leave your side and continue doing what they do best — helping you look and be your best.
Why use SoleHeeled for your Valentino repair

Incredibly convenient repairs
You might be thinking "but there's no one I can trust for a Valentino shoe repair me". We get it. Most people lack the time to find a cobbler they can trust to work on their most treasured items, or just would prefer to not take on the risk of trying any old local service. And even then, the logistics of dealing with any old repairer can be a headache.

Simply order your repair online and drop your shoes off at your local post office, where they will be packaged up and shipped over to us. Once the shoes are repaired, we will ship them straight back to your door.
Reliable customer service
We understand how hard it might be to leave your treasured shoes with someone you do not quite trust to take proper care of them. Our business, and the reputation we have built as a premier Valentino repair service is built on trust. We strive to promote this trust through the satisfaction with which we leave our customers with each repair and every customer interaction.
Frequently Asked Questions
It's all very quick and easy — promise!

- Once we've reviewed your order, we'll email you instructions for getting your Valentino shoes to us. If you live in Sydney, you'll have the option to drop the shoes off at our workshop.

This varies depending on your location, but generally takes no more than a few business days if you're in a metropolitan area and otherwise up to 5 business days (if you're in a regional or remote area).

About Valentino
Valentino was founded in 1960 in Rome and carries the name of its founder, Valentino Garavani. The popularity of this otherwise small fashion house grew rapidly in the following decades, driven by patronage among prominent celebrities and royalty the world over, with its covetable rockstud designs on shoes and bags representing a modern inventiveness for which the brand is well known.
