These boots are super easy to use. Simply put them on like your regular shoes. When you're in snowy areas, attach the snowshoe strap for better grip. Before wearing, make sure your feet are dry to keep them comfortable. Avoid wearing these boots in extremely hot weather as the insulation is for winter. After each use, wipe them clean with a damp cloth. Let them air - dry away from direct heat. Periodically check the snowshoe strap for any signs of wear and tear. With proper care, these boots will serve you well for many winter adventures.
