1. Make sure the scored lines running the length of the box are well creased. Sometimes they get flattened out during shipping;

2. Fold the smaller SIDE-FLAPS (the side-flaps each have a semi-circle cut out of them) into the box and crease well along each scored line. Then bend each of these smaller SIDE-FLAPS back all the way so each meets with and touches the outside side of the box and crease each well along the scored lines;

3. Fold the larger END-FLAPS down into the inside of the box and crease well along the scored lines. Next, bend each of these larger END-FLAPS back all the way so each meets with and touches the outside top or bottom of the box and crease each well along the scored lines;

4. a. Fold the SIDE-FLAPS inward so each is at a 90 degree angle with the sides of the box; b. Fold the larger square-shaped END-FLAP upwards so that it covers the smaller SIDE-FLAPS; c. Fold the triangular-shaped END-FLAP with the semi-circle point downwards so that it overlaps and covers the square-shaped END-FLAP;

5. Close each end by placing your forefinger around the semi circular point of the triangular-shaped END-FLAP and pull back while using your thumb to press in against the semi circular flap forcing it into the square hole in the square-shaped END-FLAP. When closed, the semi-circular point should stick out slightly, giving you a tab with which you use to open the box. Repeat at the other end of the box; and

6. Now open one end of the box and put a pair of shoes in them like you would a traditional shoe box.
