Men’s Oxblood Velvet Slipper II

The gold standard in formal footwear.

The shoe that started it all – our best-selling Velvet Slipper gives a modern perspective to a classic smoking slipper silhouette. 

Del Toro is an expert when it comes to velvet and comfort.  The uppers are constructed from the softest, highest quality Italian velvets available for that broken-in feel right out of the box.  Handcrafted by our family of artisans in Italy, each detail is stitched to perfection.  The grosgrain trim and heel stripe are sewn by hand, giving the Velvet Slipper the tasteful aesthetic Del Toro has become so well known for.  A custom sole adds an element of sophistication, with a thoughtfully designed rubber injection to help prevent slip. 

Perfect for any formal event or occasion wear outfit – the Velvet Slipper is comfortable, versatile, and stylish and will elevate any dress code.  It even works with jeans and a blazer, you’ll see.

Composition & Care

We’ve got you covered with all the essentials.

• Brush regularly
  We recommend this soft-bristled brush or a velvet brush to gently remove dirt and dust in one direction after each wear. Brushing prevents the nap from getting crushed and keeps dirt from building up. 
• Protect from water
  Velvet is susceptible to water damage, so avoid wearing them in wet conditions. If they do get wet, let them air dry naturally away from heat. 
• Use a protectant
  We recommend applying this velvet-safe protectant & sealant to the shoes as soon as you buy them, or after cleaning them. Test the protectant on a small area first. 
• Pretreat with weatherproofing spray
  We recommend treating new velvet shoes with this weatherproofing spray to protect them from water and stains. Reapply the spray every few weeks after cleaning. 
• Steam stains
  To remove stains, you can steam the velvet with a steamer or kettle. Just make sure the steam touches the shoe, not the hot metal. 
• Use baking soda
  Sprinkle baking soda inside your shoes to absorb and freshen them up. 
• Store carefully
  All of our shoes come with a signature Del Toro Dust Bag, designed to protect them from dust, scratches and light. We recommend storing your shoes back in the bag between uses, or whilst traveling.
