THIS PRODUCT IS MADE FROM GENUINE LATEX. KEEP AWAY FROM SUNLIGHT, AS UV LIGHT CAUSES LATEX TO BREAKDOWN CHEMICALLY RESULTING IN A LOSS IN SURFACE SHINE. DO NOT PUT IN CONTACT WITH ANY METAL AS THIS MAY STAIN THE LATEX. DO NOT PUT IN CONTACT WITH ANY OILS, AND USE ONLY SPECIALIZED SILICONE SPRAY OR LUBRICANTS.
BE CAREFUL WHEN PUTTING ON YOUR LATEX PRODUCT. TAKE CARE WITH FINGERNAILS AND ANY SHARP AND IRREGULAR EDGES THAT MIGHT DAMAGE THE SURFACE AND DO PULL GENTLY. USE TALCUM POWDER OR SILICONE LUBRICANTS ON THE INSIDE OF THE PRODUCT TO ENABLE YOU TO ENTER MORE EASILY WHEN TIGHT.
THIS PRODUCT IS INFLATABLE. TAKE CARE WHEN INFLATING, AND STOP ONCE THE LATEX HAS EXPANDED TO ITS FULL SHAPE, DO NOT OVER INFLATE, AS TENSION CREATED MAY CAUSE DAMAGE. CLOSE THE VALVE BY MAKING A SIMPLE KNOT, BE CAREFUL NOT TO PULL THE VALVE AS THIS MIGHT DAMAGE THE LATEX. WHEN DEFLATING THE SHOES, OPEN THE VALVE CAREFULLY AND GENTLY PRESS THE AIR OUT WITHOUT APPLYING EXCESSIVE PRESSURE WHICH MAY CAUSE DAMAGE.
HAND WASH ONLY, USE LUKEWARM WATER WITH MILD LIQUID DETERGENT ONLY. RINSE THE PRODUCT WELL AND HANG TO DRY ON PLASTIC OR WOODEN HANGER.
