How should I clean my leather boots?

Wipe with a soft, dry cloth for daily maintenance and use a specialized leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple.

No, these are premium leather boots and are not intended for use in wet or harsh weather conditions.

What is the primary material used?

Where are the Dear Frances boots manufactured?

The Alma Ankle Boots are handcrafted in Italy.

Troubleshooting

Leather feels stiff upon first wear

Wear the boots for short durations inside the home to allow the premium leather to naturally soften and mold to your feet.

Difficulty putting on the boots due to the close ankle fit

Use a shoehorn to help guide your heel into the boot without damaging the back seam or leather integrity.

Surface scuffs appearing on the leather

Use a matching black leather cream or wax polish to buff out minor surface scuffs and restore the uniform black finish.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Premium leather construction ensures long-term wear
  • Stable block heel design allows for comfortable walking
  • Sophisticated silhouette suitable for a variety of occasions
  • Expert Italian craftsmanship provides a high-quality finish

Cons

  • Close ankle fit may feel restrictive for some users
  • Limited to specific sizing options within the Alma series
  • Leather requires consistent maintenance to prevent scuffing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Alma boots maintain their premium look, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Use a shoe tree to help maintain the structural integrity of the leather and the shape of the toe box. For daily maintenance, wipe away surface dust with a soft, dry cloth. If the leather appears dull, apply a high-quality leather conditioner specifically designed for black leather footwear to restore moisture and shine. Avoid wearing the boots in extreme weather conditions, such as heavy rain or salt-treated roads, as moisture can compromise the leather construction and the stability of the block heel.
