These women's winter hiking boots are great for outdoor adventures. To use them, simply lace them up tightly before starting your hike to ensure a secure fit. When walking, the boots' stability will help you navigate uneven terrain. As for care, after each use, wipe off any dirt or mud with a damp cloth. Let them dry naturally away from direct heat. If the leather starts to look dry, you can apply a leather conditioner to keep it soft and waterproof. Avoid wearing these boots in extremely harsh chemical environments as it may damage the leather.
