I was thinking of buying a pair just because for the zipper, to remove quicker. But stilled laced up so not to move around when walking all day. After reading reviews I dont think there is any boot out there with a zipper thats any good. Zipper pulls hard, or broke, or wet feet, had to get a regular pair of boots not to leak with out having water com in where zipper. Back to figuring out what brand boot to try next. If anyone has had supper luck with a brand of boot, tell me about it.
