Using these boots is easy. Just unzip the inside zipper and slip your feet in. The top - line elastic will adjust to your ankle movement as you walk. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft cloth to gently wipe the boots to keep the waxy leather looking good. Avoid getting them too wet, as it might damage the leather or the faux fur lining. If they do get wet, let them dry naturally away from direct heat. The removable footbed can be taken out and cleaned occasionally to keep the boots fresh. Also, try not to over - stretch the boots as it may affect the shape and the functionality of the elastic and the footbed.
