Using these Fidelio Women's Multistretch Mitzy shoes is a breeze. Just use the zipper and lace closure to put them on and take them off. The removable cork insole can be taken out for a good clean or if you want to use your own orthotics. When walking, you'll notice the great grip from the soft tread, so be confident on slippery or uneven surfaces. As for maintenance, use a soft, damp cloth to clean the leather parts regularly. Avoid exposing the shoes to extreme heat or cold. Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use. If the cork insole gets dirty, you can gently brush it or wash it with mild soap and water, then let it dry thoroughly before putting it back in the shoes.
