To use these Dansko Linley shoes, simply slip them on your feet like you would with any regular pair of shoes. They're great for all - day wear, whether you're at work or out running errands. As for maintenance, clean them regularly with a soft, damp cloth to keep the leather looking good. Avoid getting them soaked in water, as this may damage the leather. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place. Also, you can replace the removable EVA footbed if it starts to lose its shape over time to keep enjoying the same level of comfort.
