To use these ankle boots, simply unzip the side zipper and slip your foot in. Then, lace up the front to adjust the fit as you like. When walking, be aware of the high heel and platform to maintain balance. For maintenance, clean the boots with a soft, dry cloth regularly. Avoid getting them wet in heavy rain or submerging them in water. Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use. If there are any scuffs, you can use a shoe polish that matches the color of the boots to make them look new again.
