To wear these boots, first unzip the side zipper. Then put your foot in and adjust the laces to your desired tightness. These boots are designed to fit true to size, so you don't need to worry about sizing issues. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft brush to remove dust regularly. If there are stains on the faux suede, use a specialized suede cleaner. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions as water can damage the faux suede. Also, store them in a cool and dry place when not in use.
