To use these boots, just unzip the inside zipper, open the laces if needed to slip your feet in, and then zip up and adjust the laces for a snug fit. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft brush to gently clean the leather and suede regularly. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions as water can damage the materials. If they do get wet, let them dry naturally away from direct heat. Store them in a cool, dry place, and you can stuff them with tissue paper to help maintain their shape.
