FAQs
Are these boots true to size?
The Dune London Tepi Knee High Boots are offered in standard UK adult female sizing. For the most accurate fit, we recommend consulting a standard UK shoe size guide and considering your usual boot size.
Can I wear these boots in the rain?
While these boots are made from leather, they are not designed to be waterproof. We advise against wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally and condition the leather afterward.
How often should I condition the leather?
It is generally recommended to condition the leather every 2-3 months, or more frequently if the boots are worn often or exposed to harsh conditions. Observe the leather; if it looks dry or stiff, it's time to condition.
Are the side buckles adjustable?
The side buckles on the Tepi boots are primarily decorative, contributing to the boot's style. While they may offer a minor degree of adjustment, their main function is aesthetic.
What kind of socks should I wear with these boots?
For optimal comfort and to protect the leather lining, we recommend wearing socks that cover your ankle or extend up to your calf. Thicker socks can provide extra warmth in colder weather.
Can these boots be re-soled?
Info needed: Please consult a professional cobbler or shoe repair specialist regarding re-soling options for this specific boot model.
Troubleshooting
Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Leather boots often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations initially. Applying a leather conditioner can also help soften the material over time.
Leather appears dry or is starting to crack.
This is a sign the leather needs moisture. Apply a generous amount of quality leather conditioner, working it into the material. Repeat this process regularly as part of your care routine.
Zippers are sticking or difficult to move.
Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush to remove any debris. Apply a zipper lubricant, wax, or even a pencil graphite to the teeth to help them glide smoothly. Be careful not to get product on the leather.
Scuffs or minor scratches appear on the leather.
For light scuffs, buff gently with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, use a leather polish or cream that matches the boot's color, applying it sparingly and buffing to blend.
Boots are losing their shape when stored.
Use boot shapers designed for knee-high boots, or stuff the shaft with rolled-up magazines or acid-free tissue paper. This helps maintain the boot's structure and prevents the leather from creasing or collapsing.

Care Instructions
To ensure your leather Tepi Knee High Boots maintain their quality and appearance for years to come, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: After each wear, wipe down the boots with a soft, damp cloth to remove any surface dirt or dust. For more stubborn dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner according to its instructions.
- Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner every few months, or as needed, to keep the leather supple, prevent drying, and reduce the risk of cracking. Apply with a soft cloth and buff gently.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray to add a layer of resistance against water and stains. Always test any new product on an inconspicuous area first.
- Storage: When not in use, store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Use boot shapers or stuff the shafts with acid-free tissue paper to help them maintain their upright shape and prevent creasing.
- Avoid Moisture: While leather offers some natural water resistance, these boots are not fully waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or deep puddles. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
- Buckle Care: Gently wipe the metal buckles with a soft, dry cloth to keep them clean and free of tarnish.
