FAQs

Are these sandals waterproof?

No, as they are made from genuine leather, they are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to water can damage the leather. If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

How do I clean the padded leather insole?

For the padded leather insole, gently wipe with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution if necessary. Ensure you wipe away all soap residue and allow the insole to air dry completely before wearing again. Avoid saturating the leather.

Do these sandals run true to size?

Dune London sandals typically run true to UK sizing. We recommend purchasing your usual UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying both to ensure the best fit, especially with the leather straps.

Can I wear these flatforms in the rain?

It is generally not recommended to wear these leather flatforms in heavy rain. Light drizzle might be acceptable, but significant water exposure can lead to water spots, staining, or damage to the leather. Always prioritize protecting your leather footwear from excessive moisture.

How can I prevent the leather straps from stretching too much?

To prevent excessive stretching, avoid exposing the sandals to extreme heat. If they get wet, allow them to dry naturally rather than forcing it with heat. Proper storage, such as using shoe trees or stuffing them with tissue paper, can also help maintain their shape when not in use.

What is the best way to store these sandals during the off-season?

Clean the sandals thoroughly, apply a leather conditioner, and allow them to dry completely. Stuff them with acid-free tissue paper to help maintain their shape, then place them in their original dust bag or a breathable fabric bag. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity.

Troubleshooting

Straps feel tight or cause rubbing.

Leather can initially be stiff. Wear them for short periods around the house to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot. You can also apply a leather conditioner to help expedite the softening process.

Sandal appears dirty or scuffed.

Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth. For more persistent marks, use a leather-specific cleaner or conditioner. Refer to the care instructions for detailed steps.

Foot odor develops after wear.

Allow the sandals to air out fully between wears. You can use a shoe deodorizer spray or sprinkle baking soda inside the footbed overnight to absorb odors. Ensure your feet are clean and dry before wearing.

Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces.

New soles can sometimes be smooth. Lightly scuffing the bottom of the sole on a rough surface (like concrete) can improve traction. Always exercise caution on wet or highly polished surfaces.

Care Instructions

Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your leather flatforms:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe off dirt and dust with a soft, dry cloth after each wear. For minor scuffs, a damp cloth can be used sparingly, followed by immediate drying.
  2. Stain Removal: For tougher stains on leather, use a specialized leather cleaner according to the product instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  3. Conditioning: Apply a good quality leather conditioner periodically (e.g., every few months or as needed) to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. This helps maintain the 'butter-soft' feel.
  4. Water Exposure: Avoid prolonged exposure to water. If the sandals get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat.
  5. Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees or stuffing with tissue paper can help maintain their shape. Keep them in their original dust bag (if provided) to protect them from dust and scratches.
