To put on these boots, simply unzip the side zipper and slip your foot in. They fit true to size, so you don't have to worry about sizing issues. When walking, the 7 1/2 - inch heel and 3 1/2 - inch platform will give you a great height boost. For maintenance, use a soft cloth to wipe off dirt regularly. Keep them in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid getting them wet for long periods as it may damage the faux leather.
