Using these boots is a breeze. Just unzip the inside metal zip closure, slip your feet in, and fasten the dual hook - n - loop straps for a snug fit. The ornamental double grommet buckle strap is just for looks, but it adds a cool style. When it comes to sizing, remember to follow the conversion rules if you're from Australia. As for maintenance, use a soft cloth to wipe off dirt and keep them in a dry place. Since they're made of vegan leather, avoid getting them wet for long periods. And because this is a pre - order item, be patient while waiting for your boots to arrive. We'll make sure to send all your items together once they're at our warehouse.
