To use these shoes, simply unzip the side zipper and slip your foot in. Then, adjust the laces to your desired tightness for a perfect fit. When wearing, you'll immediately feel the support and comfort they offer. As for maintenance, it's easy. You can spot clean the canvas upper with a mild soap and water solution. Let them air dry away from direct heat. Avoid machine washing as it might damage the shoes' structure. Store them in a cool, dry place when not in use to keep them in good condition. Remember, the footbed is removable, so you can take it out for a quick clean if needed.
