To wear these boots, simply unzip the inside closure, slide your foot in, and lace them up as tight or loose as you like. Then buckle the wrap-around strap. These boots are true to size, so no need to worry about sizing issues. For maintenance, use a soft cloth to wipe off dirt and dust regularly. Keep them in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid exposing them to extreme heat or moisture as it may damage the black patent finish.
