To put on these ankle boots, first loosen the laces. Then, use the metal back zipper to open the boot wide. Slip your foot in and adjust the laces to your desired tightness. When walking, the chunky heel and platform will give you extra height and stability. For cleaning, use a damp cloth to wipe off dirt and dust. Avoid getting them wet for a long time as they are made of faux leather. Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use to keep them in good condition.
