To put on these boots, simply unzip the side zipper and use the lace - up front to adjust the fit according to your comfort. They fit true to size, so you don't have to worry about sizing issues. When walking, be careful as the high heel and platform can affect your balance. To maintain the boots, use a soft cloth to wipe off any dirt or dust regularly. Avoid getting them wet as the patent finish might be damaged. If they do get wet, dry them gently with a soft towel and let them air dry away from direct heat sources.
