Gianvito Rossi Shoe Size Conversion
Gianvito Rossi sizes its shoes on the Italian scale, which is the European one, so an IT 38 and an EU 38 are the same shoe. Coveti lists every pair in whole EU sizes. The table converts them to UK and US women’s sizing.
| Italy and EU | UK | US |
|---|---|---|
| EU 35 | UK 2 | US 5 |
| EU 36 | UK 3 | US 6 |
| EU 37 | UK 4 | US 7 |
| EU 38 | UK 5 | US 8 |
| EU 39 | UK 6 | US 9 |
| EU 40 | UK 7 | US 10 |
| EU 41 | UK 8 | US 11 |
| EU 42 | UK 9 | US 12 |
Measure the longer foot at the end of the day and start with the size you take in other Italian heels. Fit shifts a little from style to style: a sharp pointed toe such as the Gianvito 105 holds the forefoot closely, and a suede upper gives more than patent leather does. The Plexi panel does not stretch at all.

How to Wear the Levy 85 Ankle Boots
- Styling: Wear them under straight tailored trousers.
- Evening: Keep the rest of the look simple and let the line of the shoe do the work.
- Comfort: Wear a new pair indoors for a short spell first. Leather soles grip better once they are lightly scuffed.
- Proportion: A cropped trouser shows the whole shoe. A full-length hem covers the vamp and shortens the leg.

About Gianvito Rossi
Gianvito Rossi founded his label in Milan in 2006. He is the son of Sergio Rossi, the shoemaker whose own brand made San Mauro Pascoli in Emilia-Romagna famous, and his shoes are still made there by hand. The house is known for the Gianvito 105 pump, a pointed toe on a 105 mm stiletto, and for the see-through Plexi pump. Footwear News named him Designer of the Year in 2013 and again in 2017. Since July 2023 Richemont has held a controlling stake, and Gianvito Rossi stays on as founder, chief executive and creative director. Read the full story in who is Gianvito Rossi.
The signatures are easy to spot once you know them: the Gianvito 105 and its lower 85 and 70, the Plexi pump with its clear vamp, the Portofino sandal, the Rania pump covered in crystals, and the Hansen and Levy boots. See how the heights compare in our Gianvito Rossi heel heights guide.
“The Levy 85 Ankle Boots is the kind of pair you keep for years. It is made in 100% suede leather, and the cut is cleaner than most at this height.”
Gemma Deeks, Fashion Editor at Coveti
