Love these flats!! I have them in nude and black. Both matte. Look strikingly similar to the Vals and get loads of compliments.

There was a break in period for me on both pairs. By the 4th wear they fit perfectly. I range from a 9-9.5 US and got them in a 42.

Note: There is a film on the bottom that peels off. (A white square sticker and another CLEAR sticker under that...covers the entire bottom of the shoe until the heel). If you don't take that off, they are VERY slippery. I didn't figure that out until the 2nd pair arrived. It does mention it, but I interpreted the note differently
