To use these BOGS kids' winter boots, simply grab the easy - on pull handles to put them on and take them off. They're great for playing in the snow, walking through wet grass, or any winter outdoor activities. Make sure to choose the right size according to the provided measurements. When it comes to maintenance, since the outsole is self - cleaning, just wipe off any large debris after use. If they get dirty, you can wash them with mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the waterproof insulation. Store them in a dry place when not in use to keep them in good condition. Also, remember that the DuraFresh biotechnology helps fight odors, but it's still a good idea to let the boots air out after long - term wear.
