To wear these boots, simply unzip the side zipper and slip your foot in. Then lace up the front to adjust the fit. These boots are true to size, so you don't have to worry about sizing issues. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft cloth to clean off any dirt or dust. Avoid getting them wet as much as possible. Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use. Also, be careful when walking on slippery surfaces due to the high heel and platform.
