To wear these ankle boots, first unzip the side zipper. Then, loosen the laces if needed and slide your foot in. Tighten the laces to your desired fit and zip up the side. When walking, be careful on uneven surfaces due to the high heel and platform. For maintenance, wipe the faux leather with a soft, dry cloth regularly. Avoid getting them wet as much as possible. If they do get wet, let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
