FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How should I size my velvet slippers?

We generally recommend taking your standard US sneaker size. If you are between sizes or have a wider foot, we suggest sizing up to the next half size for the most comfortable fit.

Can velvet slippers be worn outside?

Yes. Our slippers are constructed with a durable leather sole and a stacked wooden heel, designed for outdoor wear. However, we recommend avoiding heavy rain or snow to protect the velvet pile.

Are these only for black-tie events?

Absolutely not. While they are a staple for weddings and galas, the "Del Toro way" is to style them with jeans, chinos, or even shorts for a sophisticated, relaxed look.

I scuffed my velvet slippers, how can I remove the scuffs?

Don't worry, these things happen. Plus, it adds characted to the slipper. A simple shoe brush should do the trick just fine.

The Icon: Men's Italian Velvet Slippers

The Del Toro Velvet Slipper is the definitive silhouette of the brand. Often technically referred to as a Prince Albert Slipper or Smoking Slipper, this style is characterized by its seamless velvet upper and lack of external stitching. We modernized this classic profile by slimming the toe box and adding our signature red heel tab, transforming it from a vintage relic into a contemporary icon of men's formal footwear.
