FAQs

What is the heel height of the Alma Ankle Boot?

The boot features a 7.5 cm (3-inch) stacked block heel.

Are these boots true to size?

They feature an Italian cut that runs narrow. It is generally recommended to select your standard US size.

What material is used for the upper?

The boots are made from premium Italian calf leather.

Where are these boots manufactured?

Each pair of Alma Ankle Boots is meticulously handcrafted in Italy.

Can I wear these for long periods?

The structured block heel is designed for comfort, but as with all new leather footwear, it is best to break them in gradually.

How should I clean the leather?

Use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and a leather-specific conditioner to maintain suppleness.

Troubleshooting

Boots feel too tight across the bridge of the foot

Leather naturally stretches; wear them for short periods indoors with thick socks to gently expand the material.

Outsole feels slippery on smooth surfaces

The buffed leather sole will gain traction with use. If you need immediate grip, a cobbler can apply a thin rubber tap to the sole.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality Italian leather materials
  • Versatile 3-inch block heel height
  • Sleek and professional aesthetic
  • Breathable leather lining and insole

Cons

  • Fit tends to run narrow due to Italian sizing
  • Requires break-in time for stiff new leather
  • The 3-inch heel may not be suitable for those preferring flats

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these boots are made from genuine calf leather, proper care is essential to maintain their luster. Avoid exposing them to excessive moisture or harsh chemicals. If they get wet, wipe them dry immediately with a soft cloth and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources. To maintain the leather's longevity, use a high-quality leather conditioner periodically. Given the narrow Italian cut, it is recommended to select your standard US size, but if you have a wider foot, you may need to consult a cobbler for professional stretching.
