Using these hiking boots is easy. Just put them on like you would any other shoes and you're ready to go. When wearing them, make sure your feet are dry to get the most out of the waterproof feature. As for safety, always remember these boots are for protection against electrical hazards, but don't rely on them alone around live electrical circuits. For maintenance, clean the boots regularly with a soft brush and mild soap. Let them air dry away from direct heat. If the footbed gets dirty, you can remove it and wash it separately. Replace the boots if you notice significant wear and tear on the outsole or other parts, as this can affect their performance and safety features.
