To use these shoes, just slip your feet in and tie the laces comfortably. They're perfect for mountain activities. When wearing, make sure your feet are clean and dry to avoid any discomfort. As for maintenance, after each use, wipe them with a damp cloth to keep them clean. Don't machine - wash them as it may damage the material. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain their color and shape. If the laces get dirty, you can easily replace them with new ones.
