Size Chart

Italian sizing typically runs narrow. Please check the fit advice on each product page.
To find your size, measure the length of your foot from heel to toe with your heel flush against a wall, and match it to the chart below. Each measurement corresponds to one size. If you fall exactly on a boundary, take the larger size.


If you require further assistance, please contact our customer care team at info@dearfrances.com

Made in Italy

Italian craftsmanship

Every pair is made by hand in our family-owned factory in Italy, using techniques passed down through generations of artisan shoemakers. The leathers are Italian, chosen for their softness and enduring qualities, and each shoe is designed on a last shaped for comfort from the first step.

It is a slower way to make shoes, with several skilled artisans working on each step by hand. Our refined aesthetic requires precise assembly, a process we entrust only to our most experienced makers.
