FAQs
What material are these boots made from?
The Dune London Paice Ankle Boots are crafted from fine, high-quality leather.
How should I clean my leather ankle boots?
For routine cleaning, wipe them with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner. Always follow up with a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent drying.
Are these boots suitable for all weather conditions?
These leather boots are ideal for transitional seasons like autumn and spring. While leather offers some natural water resistance, they are not fully waterproof. It's recommended to apply a leather protector spray for enhanced resistance against rain and moisture.
What is the heel height of these boots?
Info needed: [The exact heel height is not specified in the product description. However, they feature a 'block heel' and 'elegant stacked heel' designed for comfort and stability.]
How do I choose the right size?
These boots are listed in standard UK adult female sizing. It's generally recommended to choose your usual UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying both or referring to a brand-specific size guide if available.
Can I wear these boots with formal attire?
While designed as a foundation for 'casual styling' and an 'everyday edit,' their classic black leather and elegant design can lend themselves to smart-casual outfits. For strictly formal events, a different style of footwear might be more appropriate.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dull or dry.
Apply a quality leather conditioner or moisturizer. For best results, clean the boots first to remove any dirt or grime before conditioning.
Side zip is stiff or sticking.
Ensure the zipper teeth are clean from debris. Gently rub a wax candle or a silicone-based zipper lubricant along the teeth. Avoid forcing the zip.
Boots feel slightly tight or uncomfortable initially.
Leather boots often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations around the house with thick socks. Leather will soften and mold to your foot over time. If discomfort persists, consider using a shoe stretcher.
Scuffs or minor scratches on the leather.
For light scuffs, buff gently with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, use a matching leather polish or cream, applying it sparingly and buffing to blend.
Boots making squeaking noises while walking.
This can sometimes be due to moisture between parts of the sole or footbed. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder inside the boot, under the insole if removable, to absorb moisture. If the squeak is from the exterior, it might be the sole material against a floor type, which often resolves with wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Unpack: Carefully remove the boots from their packaging.
- Initial Inspection: Check for any manufacturing imperfections.
- First Wear: Try them on indoors to ensure a comfortable fit. Consider wearing them for short periods initially to break them in.
Compatibility
- Outfits: Highly compatible with denim, trousers, skirts (midi/maxi), and casual dresses. Their black leather finish makes them a neutral addition to most color palettes.
- Sizing: These boots are listed in UK adult female sizes. Ensure you select your correct size (e.g., UK 5 for this specific variant).
- Seasonal: Best suited for cooler temperatures of autumn and spring. Can be adapted for mild winter days with appropriate socks.
Care
- Cleaning: Gently wipe off dirt and dust with a soft, damp cloth after each wear. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner every few weeks or as needed to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. This is crucial for maintaining the "fine leather" quality.
- Protection: Use a waterproof spray designed for leather to protect against moisture and stains, especially if planning to wear them in damp conditions.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use boot shapers or stuff with paper to help maintain their shape. Keep them in their original box or a breathable dust bag to protect against dust and scratches.
- Zipper Maintenance: If the side zip feels stiff, gently rub a wax candle or a specialized zipper lubricant along the teeth.
