To use these boots, just grab the rubber pull handles to easily slip them on. They're great for playing in puddles or building snowmen in cold weather. When it comes to maintenance, make sure to let them dry thoroughly after they get wet. You can also remove the EVA insoles and wash them if needed. Keep in mind that these boots are designed to keep feet warm down to -20°F, so they're perfect for winter adventures. Don't expose them to extremely sharp objects to avoid damaging the waterproof construction.
