How to wear: Simply unzip the side zipper, slip your foot in, and then lace up as tight or loose as you like for a comfortable fit. Note: Since the heel is 7 inches high, take your time to get used to walking in them. Also, make sure to choose the right size as they fit true to size. Maintenance: To keep your black patent boots looking great, use a soft cloth to wipe off any dirt or dust regularly. Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent damage to the patent finish.
