To use these thigh - high boots, first unzip the full - length inner side zip closure. Slip your foot in and adjust the laces at the back for a snug fit. These boots are great for a night out or a special event. When it comes to sizing, remember that Pleaser shoes use US sizing. If you're from Australia, size up 1/2 or 1 size as per the general rule. As for maintenance, use a soft cloth to gently wipe the vegan patent leather. Keep them away from sharp objects to avoid scratches. Since this is a pre - order item, be patient as it takes around 12 days to reach the warehouse. If there's an issue with your size being out of stock, we'll let you know quickly. Enjoy showing off these stylish and cruelty - free boots!
