Troubleshooting
Boot covers feel too tight around the leg.
Gently adjust the position; they are designed to be somewhat flexible. Ensure you are not over-tightening any internal securing mechanism if present (though none are described).
Boot covers slip down the leg.
Ensure the faux leather material is clean and dry against your leg and trousers. You may need to tuck them more securely into your trousers or consider a small amount of costume tape if the issue persists.
Faux leather appears creased or misshapen.
Allow the boot covers to hang or rest in their intended shape for a while. Gentle heat from a hairdryer on a low setting, held at a distance, can sometimes help smooth out creases, but use with extreme caution to avoid melting the material.
Dirt or smudges on the faux leather.
Use a clean, slightly damp cloth to gently wipe the affected area. Allow to air dry completely before wearing or storing.
