To use these thigh boots, simply unzip the side zipper and slip your foot in. They're designed to fit true to size, so you don't have to worry about sizing issues. When walking, the 5 - inch heel gives you a stylish lift, but be careful as high heels can make your steps a bit less stable. For maintenance, use a soft cloth to wipe off any dirt or dust after each wear. Keep them in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid getting them wet as it might damage the patent finish. If they do get wet, let them air - dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
