To use these boots, simply slip your feet in through the gored sides for an easy fit. They're great for all - day wear, whether you're at work, running errands, or going out. For maintenance, clean the boots regularly with a soft brush or cloth to remove dirt. If they're leather or suede, use appropriate cleaners and conditioners to keep the material in good shape. Avoid wearing them in extremely wet conditions for long periods as it may damage the upper material. Also, let the boots dry naturally if they get wet, and don't expose them to direct heat sources.
