To use these ankle boots, simply unzip the side zipper, put your foot in, and lace up the front as tight or loose as you like for a comfortable fit. When walking, be careful as the high heels may require a bit of balance. To maintain these boots, keep them away from water as the patent leather can be damaged. Use a soft cloth to wipe off any dirt or dust regularly. If they get scuffed, you can use a leather polish suitable for patent leather to restore their shine. Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe box to protect them from scratches.
