Product Information
Full details
The Dune London McKinley Chelsea boots are designed for the modern adult male who seeks a sophisticated blend of classic aesthetics and contemporary design details. These boots provide a sleek, professional silhouette that transitions effortlessly from formal business attire to refined casual settings. While they offer exceptional style through their signature blue stacked heel and striped grosgrain back tab, it is important to note that the 1 cm heel height offers a low-profile fit that may not provide the same arch support as chunkier, technical footwear options.

FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
They are made of leather and are water-resistant to a degree, but they are not waterproof. We recommend applying a leather protectant spray for additional defense against light rain.
How should I clean the blue stacked heel?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the heel area. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these may discolor or damage the blue finish.
Are these true to size?
The McKinley series generally follows standard UK sizing. If you typically wear a size 11, the size 11 should provide a standard, comfortable fit.
Can I replace the soles once they wear out?
Yes, because the boots feature a robust construction, a professional cobbler can usually resole them once the rubber tread reaches the end of its life.
Do these boots require socks?
It is highly recommended to wear socks with these leather boots to ensure comfort, prevent blistering, and manage moisture inside the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel slightly tight when first wearing them
Leather will naturally stretch and mold to the shape of your foot; wear them for short periods around the house to break them in.
Scuffs appearing on the black leather
Use a matching black leather cream or wax polish to buff out minor scuffs and restore the uniform finish.
Elastic side panels are dusty or stiff
Gently clean the elastic with a soft, slightly damp brush to remove grit that can wear down the fabric over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your McKinley boots remain in top condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a soft, dry cloth after each wear to remove dust and debris.
- Leather Protection: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner or cream every few months to maintain suppleness and prevent the leather from drying out or cracking.
- Storage: Always store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources. Use shoe trees to help the boots maintain their shape when not in use.
- Waterproofing: While the leather is durable, avoid deep puddles; if they get wet, stuff them with paper and allow them to air dry slowly at room temperature—never near a heater.
- Compatibility: These boots pair best with tailored trousers, slim-fit jeans, or chinos.
