To use these belts, simply thread them through your belt loops and fasten the buckle. These belts are quite durable, but try to avoid getting them wet frequently as it can damage the faux leather. When cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off any dirt. Store them in a cool, dry place to keep them in good condition. Also, remember the California Proposition 65 warning about the chemicals in the product, so handle it with care.
