To wear these sandals, simply slide your feet in and fasten the ankle strap. Make sure the strap is not too tight or too loose for a comfortable fit. When walking, take it slow at first to get used to the height of the heel. As for maintenance, use a soft cloth to wipe off any dirt or dust. Avoid wearing them in very wet conditions to prevent damage to the chrome-plated bottom. Also, store them in a cool, dry place when not in use.
