To use these ankle boots, simply unzip the side zipper, slip your feet in, and then lace them up as tight or loose as you like for a comfortable fit. When wearing, be careful on slippery surfaces due to the high heels. For maintenance, use a soft cloth to wipe off dirt regularly. You can also apply a leather conditioner every few months to keep the boots looking new. Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use.
