To use these boots, simply unzip the side closure and slip your foot in. Lace them up to your desired tightness for a snug fit. When walking, be careful as the high heel and platform can affect your balance. For maintenance, use a soft cloth to wipe off any dirt or dust. Avoid getting them wet as it may damage the patent leather. Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe box to keep their shape.
