To wear these ankle boots, simply use the side zipper to open them up and then put your foot in. Do up the lace-up front to adjust the fit as you like. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft cloth to wipe off any dirt or dust regularly. Avoid getting them wet in heavy rain as it may damage the patent leather. If they do get a little damp, let them dry naturally away from direct heat. And remember, these boots are true to size, so you don't have to worry about sizing issues when you're putting them on.
