To use these boots, simply unzip the side and slide your feet in. The removable insoles can be taken out for a more customized fit or for cleaning. When you're out in the cold and wet, the water-resistant feature will keep your feet dry. Just make sure to avoid submerging them in deep water for a long time. For maintenance, wipe the boots with a damp cloth after use to remove dirt. You can also use a leather cleaner on the vegan leather upper if needed. Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use. If the faux fur trim gets dirty, use a soft brush to gently clean it. And don't forget to replace the insoles if they start to lose their cushioning.
