To use these Taos Loop wedges, simply put your feet in and adjust the hook & loop strap on the instep to your desired tightness. They're great for long walks and summer outings. When it comes to maintenance, use a leather cleaner or polish to buff the shoes and then wipe them off with a dry cloth. Avoid getting them too wet as this could damage the leather. With proper care, these wedges will last you many summers.
