The Dear Frances Alma Ankle Boot is an ideal choice for the modern woman seeking a refined, versatile footwear option for everyday professional or social settings. Handcrafted in Italy, these boots offer a sophisticated silhouette with an elongated almond toe and a stable 7.5 cm block heel, blending aesthetic elegance with walking comfort. While the high-quality leather construction ensures durability and a timeless look, potential buyers should be aware that the Italian sizing profile runs narrow, which may necessitate careful size selection.

Since Italian sizing runs narrow, we recommend sticking to your standard size for the best balance, but consider a half-size up if you have wider feet.
The boot features a structured stacked block heel measuring 7.5 cm (3 inches).
No, the Dear Frances Alma Ankle Boot is crafted from premium leather, including the insole, lining, and outsole.
While leather is durable, it is not waterproof. It is best to treat the boots with a leather-appropriate water repellent spray and avoid heavy downpours to prevent water spots.
Wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Use a leather cream specifically formulated for your leather finish to clean and condition the boots periodically.
Leather naturally stretches; consider using a professional shoe stretcher or wearing thicker socks for short intervals at home to encourage the leather to mold to your foot shape.
The buffed leather sole will gain more traction with wear, but you can also scuff the sole gently with sandpaper or have a rubber half-sole added by a cobbler for instant grip.
When receiving your boots, ensure the fit is snug but not constricting across the widest part of the foot, as Italian sizing runs notably narrow. For long-term maintenance, use a high-quality leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Store the boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, preferably using shoe trees to maintain the structural integrity of the almond toe. If the boots become wet, air dry them naturally away from heat sources such as radiators, which can warp the leather and damage the sole construction.
