To use these Demonia ankle boots, simply unzip the side zipper, slip your feet in, and lace them up as tight or loose as you like. Adjust the ankle cuff for a more comfortable fit. These boots are true to size, so choose your regular shoe size. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft cloth to wipe off any dirt or dust. Avoid getting them wet as much as possible. If they do get wet, let them dry naturally away from direct heat. Keep them in a cool, dry place when not in use.
