To use these Naot Women's Canoe Boots, simply lace them up to your desired tightness for a secure fit. You can wear them with jeans, dresses, or any casual outfit. They're great for daily activities like walking around town or running errands. Since they're not slip - resistant, be careful when walking on wet or slippery surfaces. To maintain them, clean the boots regularly with a soft brush or cloth to remove dirt. You can also apply a leather conditioner to keep the material in good shape. If the footbed gets dirty, you can remove it and clean it separately. Store the boots in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent damage.
