Carvela Scandicci Ankle Boots - Black - 7

While the leather provides some natural resistance to water, they are not fully waterproof. It is recommended to use a leather-safe water repellent spray.

The elastic is designed for durability; however, as with all footwear, minor natural relaxation may occur with consistent daily use.

They are designed for urban comfort, but because they are fashion boots rather than technical walking shoes, usage should be based on your personal support needs.

The boots should feel snug but not restrictive. You should have enough room to wiggle your toes comfortably while the heel remains secure.

Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the leather upper in water.

Wear thick socks for the first few outings and use a leather conditioner to soften the material.

Utilize a shoe horn to assist your heel in sliding past the elasticated ankle panel without straining the fabric.

Use a stiff-bristled brush to clear out gravel or dirt caught in the large tread design after walking on unpaved surfaces.
