The Dear Frances Alma Ankle Boot is an ideal choice for the fashion-conscious adult seeking a sophisticated, handcrafted leather boot that seamlessly transitions from professional settings to evening wear. Featuring Italian calf-leather construction and a stable 7.5 cm block heel, these boots offer a timeless silhouette with excellent durability; however, potential buyers should note that the design features a slim, close-cut ankle profile and Italian sizing that typically runs narrower than standard UK sizes.

Yes, this model fits true to size, but please remember that Italian sizing typically runs narrower than standard UK sizing.
The heel height is 7.5 cm, which is approximately 3 inches.
Yes, the boots are made from high-quality Italian calf leather with a buffed leather outsole for longevity.
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and apply a leather conditioner designed for calf leather to maintain the finish.
Due to the narrow Italian fit and the close-cut ankle design, those with wider feet may find the fit challenging and might need professional stretching.
Italian sizing runs narrow; try wearing thinner socks or have them professionally stretched at a cobbler.
The design is intended to be close-cut; ensure your socks are not bunched and consider using a long-handled shoe horn.
New leather outsoles can be slick; walking on a rough surface like concrete for a few minutes can create natural traction.
As these are high-quality leather goods, proper care is essential to maintain their finish. Use a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt and a high-quality leather cream periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Store these boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use, preferably using shoe trees to maintain the structural integrity of the almond toe and ankle shaft. Given the narrow Italian fit, it is recommended to wear thin, moisture-wicking hosiery or silk socks during the initial break-in period.
