Using these boots is easy. Just lace them up and you're ready to go. When it comes to sizing, remember they fit true to size, so order your regular size. As for maintenance, use a soft cloth to clean the boots regularly. Avoid getting them too wet as the leather may be affected. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place. And since they don't come with a box, find a good spot in your closet to keep them safe.
