Thanks for all the replies. Will probably persevere over the next few months to see if we get the hang of them using the tips above.
If nothing else, I can delay removal following advice about the trim that may have been cut to fit. IIRC the mud flaps are shaped for the steps too. Renny Thomson

Exactly this; step up with your "front" foot (closest to the front of the car) then sit "down" into it like you would climb into a car of lesser height. I know for a fact I wouldn't be enjoying my Disco commercial without them, and they make all the difference when reaching across the loadspace. 2016MY Discovery 4 Commercial , 3.0 SDV6 Auto, Santorini Black, side-steps, 510s.
Mods: LED interior lights. Front guard.
Soon: black grille, tinted windows.
