These Rieker boots are easy to use. Just lace them up or use the zipper to put them on. They're great for walking around town or going on short hikes. When it rains, the water - resistant feature will keep your feet dry, but don't submerge them in water for too long. To keep them looking good, clean them with a soft cloth regularly. If there are stains, use a mild leather cleaner. Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain their shape and quality.
