To use these slippers, simply slide your feet in through the elastic opening. They're great for indoor use, like lounging at home or walking around your apartment. When it comes to maintenance, you can gently wipe them with a damp cloth to keep them clean. Avoid machine - washing as it may damage the elastic and the soft footbed. Also, don't expose them to direct sunlight for too long to prevent the color from fading. Keep them in a dry place when not in use.
