To use these boots, just unzip the inside zipper and slip your feet in. You can adjust the laces according to the width of your feet. When you're done wearing them, zip them up to keep their shape. As for maintenance, use a soft brush to clean off any dirt or dust. You can also use a leather conditioner to keep the leather and suede soft and supple. Avoid getting them wet for long periods as it may damage the material. Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use.
