To use these sandals, simply slip your feet in and fasten the ankle strap. Make sure it's not too tight or too loose for maximum comfort. When walking, be careful as the 7 - inch heel might take some getting used to. For maintenance, wipe the clear vinyl with a soft, damp cloth regularly to keep it looking shiny. Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent damage. Also, avoid wearing them in very wet or muddy conditions to keep them in good shape.
