FAQs
Are these sandals true to size?
Yes, Dune London footwear generally runs true to size. This specific pair is a UK size 5. If you are typically a UK 5, these should provide a comfortable fit.
Can I wear these sandals in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear these leather sandals in the rain or very wet conditions. Leather can be damaged, stained, and its lifespan reduced by prolonged exposure to moisture. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
How should I clean the white leather?
For light dirt, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a specialized white leather cleaner suitable for footwear, following the product's instructions carefully. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Do the straps offer good support?
The butter-soft leather straps are designed for comfort and to hold the foot securely in place. While they offer good stability, they are not designed as orthopedic support straps but rather for comfortable, everyday wear.
Will the flatform sole make them heavy?
While a flatform sole adds some material compared to a completely flat sandal, these are designed with comfort in mind. The materials used are selected to provide elevation without making the sandals excessively heavy for daily wear.
What is the best way to store them when not in use?
Store your sandals in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees or stuffing them with acid-free tissue paper to help maintain their shape and absorb any moisture.
Troubleshooting
Sandals feel a bit snug initially
Leather is a natural material that can gently stretch and mold to your foot shape with wear. Wear them for short periods at first to allow them to break in comfortably. If discomfort persists, consider using a shoe stretcher or taking them to a professional cobbler.
White leather has a scuff or mark
For light scuffs, a soft, dry cloth or a specialized white leather eraser can often remove them. For deeper marks or stains, use a white leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear, applying a small amount to a clean cloth and gently rubbing in a circular motion. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
Sandal straps feel loose after some wear
It is natural for leather to soften and stretch slightly over time. If the straps become too loose, a professional cobbler may be able to add extra holes or make minor adjustments to improve the fit. Ensure you are caring for the leather appropriately to prevent excessive stretching.
Unpleasant odor from sandals
Ensure your feet are clean before wearing. Allow sandals to air out fully between wears. You can use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle a small amount of baking soda (allow to sit overnight and then vacuum/wipe out) to absorb odors. Avoid storing them in damp, enclosed spaces.

Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your leather sandals, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: For light dirt, gently wipe the leather straps and flatform sole with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner appropriate for white leather, following the product's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather soft and prevent cracking. This is especially important if the sandals are stored for extended periods.
- Water Exposure: Avoid wearing your sandals in heavy rain or wet conditions. Leather is not waterproof and excessive moisture can cause staining, discoloration, and damage to the material. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Storage: Store your sandals in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Use shoe trees or stuff them with acid-free tissue paper to help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh solvents, polishes, or cleaners not specifically designed for leather, as these can strip natural oils and cause damage.
