These Rieker lace - up boots are easy to wear. Just loosen the laces, put your feet in, and tighten them for a snug fit. Then zip up the side zipper for extra support. When walking, the grippy sole will keep you steady. For maintenance, clean them regularly with a soft cloth. Avoid getting them in contact with sharp objects to prevent damage to the synthetic leather. Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use. Don't try to remove the insole as it's non - removable.
