FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
The Dune London Paice Ankle Boots are crafted from fine leather and are not inherently waterproof. We recommend applying a suitable leather protector spray to offer some resistance against light moisture and stains. Avoid heavy rain or submerging them in water.
How do I choose the correct size?
These boots are listed in UK adult female sizing. If you are unsure of your UK size, it's best to measure your foot and consult a standard UK shoe size chart. If you typically wear a half size, it's often recommended to size up for boots, but personal preference for fit varies.
What is the heel height?
The specific heel height is not provided in the product description. However, it is described as a 'block heel' and 'stacked heel', implying a moderate and comfortable height suitable for everyday wear.
Can I wear these boots in winter?
While they are a great transitional piece, for colder winter weather, consider pairing them with thick socks. As they are leather, they may not offer sufficient insulation or grip for icy conditions without additional sole protection.
How often should I condition the leather?
For regular wear, conditioning the leather every 2-3 months is a good practice. If the boots are exposed to harsh conditions or appear dry, you may condition them more frequently.
Are replacement parts (e.g., heel tips) available?
While Dune London does not typically offer direct replacement parts, the block and stacked heel construction means a professional cobbler can easily replace worn heel tips or repair soles, extending the lifespan of your boots.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations around the house with thick socks. Leather conditioners can also help soften the material over time. If discomfort persists, consider using a shoe stretcher or consulting a cobbler.
Zipper is sticking or difficult to move.
Ensure no fabric or debris is caught in the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (like a graphite pencil or beeswax) to the teeth to help it glide smoothly.
Leather appears dry or has minor scuffs.
Clean the area gently. Apply a good quality leather conditioner or polish designed for brown leather to rehydrate and conceal minor imperfections. For deeper scuffs, a professional cobbler may be able to help.
Boots are losing their shape when stored.
Insert boot trees or stuff the boots with acid-free paper or crumpled newspaper when not in use. This helps maintain the shaft's upright position and overall shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
The Dune London Paice Ankle Boots require no assembly. Simply unbox, try them on, and adjust for comfort. For first wear, it's advisable to wear them for shorter periods to allow the leather to naturally mold to your feet.
Compatibility
These boots are designed for adult females and are compatible with a wide range of clothing styles. They are sized in UK shoe sizing, specifically UK 3 for this variant. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal fit and comfort.
Care
Proper care is essential for maintaining the quality and longevity of your leather boots.
- Cleaning: Wipe off dirt and dust regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner according to its instructions.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner every few months to keep the leather supple, prevent drying, and reduce cracking.
- Protection: Before first wear and periodically thereafter, apply a water and stain protector spray suitable for leather to guard against moisture and spills.
- Storage: When not in use, store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Use boot trees or stuff them with paper to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Avoid excessive exposure to water or harsh chemicals. If boots get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
- Heel & Sole: Regularly check the heels and soles for wear. Have them repaired by a professional cobbler as needed to extend the life of the boots.
