To wear these boots, simply unzip the side zipper, slip your foot in, and then lace them up to your desired tightness. Make sure the laces are evenly tightened for a comfortable fit. When walking, be careful on slippery surfaces due to the high heel. For maintenance, use a soft cloth to wipe off any dirt or dust regularly. If there are stains on the patent leather, you can use a mild leather cleaner. Store them in a cool, dry place, and it's a good idea to stuff them with tissue paper to help them keep their shape.
