Dune London Tepi Knee High Boots - Black - Size UK 7

The Dune London Tepi Knee High Boots are crafted from the 'finest material'. Based on similar Dune London offerings and other variants, this is likely high-quality leather, designed for durability and a premium feel.

These boots are not explicitly described as waterproof. While crafted from a finest material (likely leather), they are primarily designed for fashion and casual autumn wear. For enhanced water resistance, you may consider applying a suitable protective spray designed for footwear, particularly if they are leather.

For general cleaning, wipe dirt and dust with a soft, dry cloth. If the boots are leather, use a damp cloth with mild soap for stubborn marks, then wipe dry and apply a leather conditioner and polish as needed. Always allow them to air dry naturally.

Store your boots in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. To help maintain their knee-high shape and prevent creasing, use boot shapers or stuff the shaft with rolled-up paper or magazines. Storing them in their original box or a breathable dust bag is also recommended.

Knee-high boots are designed to fit snugly. The side zip aids in ease of wear. If initially tight, wear them for short periods to allow the material to gently conform. If significant discomfort occurs, a professional cobbler may be able to stretch them slightly, depending on the material.

While suitable for cooler autumn weather, these boots are not designed for harsh winter conditions or heavy rain unless specifically treated. Exposure to excessive moisture or extreme cold may affect the material and longevity. Consider specific winter or waterproof footwear for such conditions.

Ensure no fabric is caught. Gently rub a graphite pencil or a specialized zip lubricant along the teeth of the zipper to ease movement. Do not force the zip.

Knee-high boots can feel snug initially. Continue wearing for short periods to allow the material to stretch slightly. If discomfort persists, consider consulting a cobbler for professional stretching, if the material permits.

Clean the boots thoroughly. If they are leather, apply a suitable leather conditioner and then a black shoe polish. Buff gently with a soft cloth to restore shine and cover minor marks. For non-leather materials, use appropriate cleaning and restoration products.

This can sometimes be caused by moisture trapped between the sole layers or issues with the insole. Try applying a small amount of baby powder under the insole if it's removable. If the sound persists, a cobbler might need to inspect the sole.

Use boot shapers or stuff the boot shaft with rolled-up magazines or newspaper to help them stand upright and maintain their knee-high silhouette during storage.
