De Niro Raffaello · Miraggio

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.

This is the Raffaello — De Niro's tall, poised dressage boot — in the Miraggio collezione: a leg of brushed Po Fondente calfskin, a dark chocolate brown with real depth, rising to an Aurora-design top in tonal Miraggio brown, its detailing picked out in bronze. A brown dressage boot is a quiet statement in itself; this one makes it beautifully.

• Brushed Po Fondente calfskin, lined throughout in natural calfskin
• Aurora top in Miraggio brown with bronze-tone Sinax detailing
• Outer leg reinforced to hold the dressage line tall and still
• YKK 9 mm zip tucked into the front inner leg
• Backstrip with fishbone stitching above a medium-height counterfort
• Lift-out activated-carbon insole; a full leather sole double-stitched to its Vibram outsole

Fit. Made to order in Italy, usually in 4–5 weeks. Standard sizing works to De Niro's height and calf chart; Tall · X-Tall adds leg length, and full Made to Measure builds every panel to your own measurements. Our Fit Finder settles which you need in a couple of minutes.
