Using these shoes is simple. Just slip your feet in and adjust the hook - and - eye straps to your desired tightness. When wearing them, make sure your feet are clean and dry to enhance comfort. As for maintenance, you can use a soft cloth to wipe off dirt on the leather upper regularly. If the footbed gets dirty, you can remove it and clean it gently with a damp cloth. Let it air - dry thoroughly before putting it back in the shoes. Avoid exposing the shoes to extreme heat or direct sunlight for a long time as it may damage the leather and the sole.
