To use these ankle boots, simply unzip the side zipper and slide your foot in. Then, adjust the laces on the front for a snug fit. When walking, take your time at first due to the high heel. To keep them in good condition, avoid wearing them in wet or muddy conditions as the black patent finish can be damaged. Clean them regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Store them in a cool, dry place, and you can use a shoe tree to help maintain their shape.
