Using these boots is super easy. Just open the inside zip closure, slip your feet in, and then lace them up using the double D - ring lace - up front. When choosing a size, remember if you're from Australia, go 1/2 or 1 size larger than your usual Australian size. As for maintenance, since they're made of vegan leather, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off any dirt or dust regularly. Avoid getting them wet as much as possible. If they do get wet, let them air dry naturally away from direct heat. Since this is a pre - order item, be patient as it takes about 12 days to reach our warehouse. If there are any issues with your size availability, we'll be in touch right away.
