De Niro Raffaello

It's DeNiro's listed made-to-measure fee. It pays for your boots to be cut on a one-off pattern built from your twelve measurements (six points on each leg) rather than a standard last — and it's what lets us include the measurement review, photo checks and your Fit Promise at no extra charge.

Only need extra height, not a full custom pattern? Tall and X-Tall are a separate £35 DeNiro option.

The Raffaello is De Niro's definitive dressage boot: a tall, quietly architectural leg in fine Italian calfskin, cut close through the ankle and finished with the elegant high top line that dressage riders recognise at once. It is a boot designed to disappear on the leg — nothing but a clean profile from saddle to stirrup.

• Fine Italian calfskin with a full natural calfskin lining
• Dressage-stiffened outer leg for a still, supported position
• YKK 9 mm zip set discreetly on the front inside of the leg
• Herringbone-detailed backstrip and medium-cut counterfort
• Removable activated-carbon insole
• Full leather sole with double-stitched Vibram outsole

Fit. Every pair is made to order in Italy, typically within 4–5 weeks. Choose your foot size and fit: Standard follows De Niro's height and calf chart, Tall · X-Tall extends the leg, and Made to Measure builds the boot to your seven measurements — use our Fit Finder to get it right first time.
