To use these ankle boots, simply unzip the side zipper and slide your feet in. Lace them up as tight or loose as you like for a comfortable fit. When walking, be careful on slippery surfaces due to the high heel. To maintain these boots, use a soft cloth to wipe off any dirt or dust regularly. Avoid getting them wet as it may damage the patent leather. If they do get wet, let them dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
