To wear these shoes, just slip your feet in and fasten the wrap-around ankle strap with the heart O - ring. They fit true to size, so you don't have to worry about sizing issues. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft cloth to gently wipe off dirt and dust. Avoid getting them wet for long periods as they are imported and may be sensitive to water damage. Store them in a cool, dry place to keep them in good shape.
