To use these ankle boots, simply unzip the side zipper, slide your foot in, and then lace them up to your desired tightness. They're great for a night out or any event where you want to stand out. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft cloth to wipe off any dirt or dust regularly. Avoid getting them wet in heavy rain as it might damage the patent finish. If they do get wet, dry them gently with a towel and let them air - dry naturally. Keep them in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain their shape and quality.
