To wear these ankle boots, simply unzip the metal back zip and slide your foot in. Then, lace up the front to your desired tightness. These boots are true to size, so you don't have to worry about sizing issues. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft cloth to wipe off any dirt or dust. Avoid getting them wet for long periods as it may damage the patent leather. If they do get wet, dry them gently with a soft towel. Also, store them in a cool, dry place to keep them in good condition.
