FAQs
Are these boots waterproof?
While made of fine leather, the Dune London Paicey Ankle Boots are not inherently waterproof. We recommend treating them with a high-quality water and stain repellent spray suitable for leather before first wear and periodically thereafter to enhance their resistance to light rain and moisture. Avoid heavy downpours or prolonged exposure to water.
How do I choose the correct size?
The Paicey boots generally run true to UK sizing. We recommend selecting your usual UK shoe size. If you are typically between sizes or have wider feet, consider trying them on with the type of socks you intend to wear to ensure a comfortable fit.
What is the heel height of these boots?
The Paicey boots feature an elegant stacked block heel. Info needed: Specific heel height (e.g., in cm or inches).
How often should I condition the leather?
For regular wear, conditioning every 2-3 months is generally recommended to keep the leather supple and prevent it from drying out. If you wear them frequently or live in a dry climate, you might consider conditioning more often, or if the leather starts to look dull or feel stiff.
Can these boots be resoled?
Many high-quality leather boots, depending on their sole construction, can be resoled by a skilled cobbler. If your sole shows significant wear, consult a professional shoe repair specialist to assess if resoling is an option for your Paicey boots.
How do I clean the branded hardware?
The 'DD'-interlocked branded hardware can be gently cleaned with a soft, dry cloth to remove any dust or smudges. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these could damage the metal finish.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel too tight or uncomfortable after initial wear.
Leather shoes often require a breaking-in period. Wear them for short durations around the house with thick socks to gently stretch the leather. For persistent tightness, a professional cobbler may be able to stretch them further.
Zipper gets stuck or is difficult to move.
Gently rub a graphite pencil (pencil lead) or a small amount of bar soap along the zipper teeth to lubricate it. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. If the issue persists, a shoe repair specialist can often resolve it.
Scuffs or minor scratches appear on the leather surface.
For light surface scuffs, buff gently with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, apply a small amount of matching leather cream or polish, allow it to dry, then buff. A professional cobbler can address more significant damage.
Leather appears dry, dull, or starts to crack.
This indicates the leather needs conditioning. Clean the boots thoroughly, then apply a quality leather conditioner, rubbing it in gently with a soft cloth. Regular conditioning every 2-3 months helps prevent dryness and cracking.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
To ensure you get the most out of your Dune London Paicey Ankle Boots, follow these guidelines for initial setup, styling compatibility, and ongoing care.
Initial Setup
- Unboxing: Carefully remove the boots from their packaging.
- First Wear: Unzip the side fastening completely. Gently slide your foot into the boot, ensuring your heel sits comfortably. Zip up the boot, making sure it feels snug but not tight. Walk around a little to assess the fit.
- Breaking In: As with most fine leather footwear, these boots may require a short breaking-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially, perhaps with thicker socks, to allow the leather to soften and conform to the unique shape of your foot.
Compatibility
- Apparel: The black leather and classic design of the Paicey boots make them incredibly versatile. They pair beautifully with:
- Bottoms: Skinny jeans, straight-leg trousers, wide-leg trousers, leggings, skirts (mini, midi, maxi), and culottes.
- Dresses: From casual shirt dresses to more structured knit or slip dresses.
- Outerwear: Blazers, trench coats, leather jackets, denim jackets, and long cardigans.
- Occasions: Suitable for a wide range of events including daily wear, office environments, casual outings, social gatherings, and semi-formal occasions.
Care Instructions for Fine Leather
Proper care is crucial for maintaining the beauty and longevity of your leather boots.
- Cleaning: Regularly wipe down your boots with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and light dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a damp cloth, following the product's instructions. Always allow to air dry completely.
- Conditioning: Every 2-3 months (or more frequently if worn often or in dry climates), apply a high-quality leather conditioner. This helps to rehydrate the leather, prevent cracking, and keep it supple. Apply a small amount to a clean cloth and gently rub it into the leather.
- Protection: Before initial wear and periodically thereafter, apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for leather. This will help protect against moisture and spills.
- Storage: When not in use, store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat, which can dry out and damage the leather. Use boot trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, as leather needs to breathe.
- Addressing Scuffs: For minor scuffs, gently buff the area with a soft cloth. For more noticeable marks, a matching leather cream or polish can be applied and buffed for a seamless finish.
- Wet Conditions: If your boots get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, which can damage the leather.
