To wear these boots, simply unzip the side zipper and slide your foot in. They're true to size, so you don't have to worry about getting the wrong fit. When walking, the 8 - inch heel gives you height, but be careful as it's a bit high. The 4 - inch platform helps with stability. For maintenance, keep them away from sharp objects to avoid tearing the white fabric. You can clean them gently with a soft cloth and mild soap. Store them in a cool, dry place to keep the fabric in good condition.
