Product Information

Full details

The Dear Frances Alma Ankle Boot is a premium, handcrafted Italian footwear choice designed for the modern adult woman seeking a blend of sophisticated structure and everyday comfort. Featuring a 7.5 cm block heel and a sleek, close-cut silhouette, these boots serve as a versatile foundation for both professional and casual wardrobes; however, because the Italian sizing runs narrow, those with wider feet should consider sizing adjustments or consulting a detailed size guide before purchasing.

FAQs

What is the heel height of the Alma Ankle Boot?

The boots feature a 7.5 cm (3-inch) stacked block heel.

Are these boots true to size?

They use Italian sizing which generally runs narrow. It is recommended to check the specific size guide or size up if you are between sizes.

What material is the outsole?

The outsole is made from high-quality buffed leather.

Can I wear these in the rain?

As these are crafted from premium leather, they are not intended for heavy rain or snow. Prolonged exposure to water can damage the leather and the outsole.

How do I care for the leather?

Keep them clean by wiping with a soft, dry cloth and use a quality leather conditioner occasionally to prevent cracking.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too tight across the midfoot

Italian leather often softens with wear; consider using a shoe stretcher or wearing them with thin socks initially to allow the material to conform to your foot.

Slipping on smooth indoor floors

The buffed leather outsole can be slippery when new. Once the leather is slightly scuffed through regular wear, traction will improve, or you can have a cobbler add a rubber sole protector.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Stable block heel design for daily comfort
  • Sophisticated, timeless silhouette

Cons

  • Italian sizing typically runs narrow

  • Limited stretch due to the structured design

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Alma Ankle Boots, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Since the outsole is made of buffed leather, it is recommended to apply protective taps if you plan to wear them frequently on abrasive concrete or wet surfaces. For cleaning, wipe the leather with a soft, dry cloth; if needed, use a high-quality leather conditioner to keep the material supple. When choosing your size, remember that Italian sizing tends to run narrow; if you are between sizes or have a wider foot, you may need to size up for the best fit.
