To use these ankle boots, simply unzip the side zipper, slide your foot in, and zip it up. Make sure to choose the right size as they fit true to size. When walking, the high heel and platform may take a bit of getting used to, so start with short walks. To maintain them, use a soft cloth to wipe off any dirt or dust regularly. Avoid getting them wet as the patent leather may be affected. If they do get wet, let them dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use to keep their shape and quality.
