To use these boots, simply unzip the side zipper and slip your foot in. Then lace up the front to adjust the fit as you like. Make sure to check the size chart to pick the right size as they fit true to size. When wearing, be careful on slippery surfaces because of the high heel. To maintain these boots, wipe them with a soft cloth after each use to keep the red patent leather looking shiny. Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent damage.
