Using these boots is easy. Just put them on like you would any other pair of boots. They're designed to keep your feet warm and dry in cold and wet winter weather. When you're out in the snow or slush, the waterproof feature will keep water from seeping in. The traction on the outsole is great, so you can walk on icy surfaces without slipping. For maintenance, after using the boots in wet conditions, let them dry naturally. Avoid direct heat sources as it can damage the materials. You can clean the boots with a soft brush and mild soap if they get dirty. Also, make sure to remove the removable insole regularly and let it air dry to keep it fresh. Keep these boots in a cool, dry place when not in use.
