To use these boots, simply unzip the side zipper, slip your feet in, and zip it up. They're great for walking on various surfaces thanks to the grippy sole. When it comes to maintenance, use a soft cloth to wipe off dirt and debris after each use. If they get wet, let them dry naturally away from direct heat. Avoid using harsh chemicals on the leather as it may damage the material. And remember, even though they're water - resistant, don't submerge them in water for long periods. With proper care, these boots will last you a long time and keep your feet warm and stylish.
