But, the zippers can wear out, and break if you don't take really good care of them. Because the zippers are at the backs of the boots, and there are people who ride with their toes pointed straight out, obviously the zippers will get salt and sweat and other dirt stuck in them. If this doesn't get cleaned very often, and you keep zipping them up through that, they will deteriorate (sp?) much faster!#ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT face=Tahoma color=#c080ff size=4#ed_cl##ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT face=Tahoma color=#c080ff size=4#ed_cl#Also, the zipper only goes down so far, and some people find them hard to get started zipping up (at the base of your heel) Just as a warning, be careful each time you start zipping them up....if you take the little extra time so that it goes smoothly, and don't pull/force them up then they will last soo much longer! If you force them up, or pull on them alot, then you will end up with either a busted zipper or holes in the boots around the back of the ankle area.#ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT face=Tahoma color=#c080ff size=4#ed_cl##ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT face=Tahoma color=#c080ff size=4#ed_cl#It sounds like you won't have too much of a problem with the zippers. You sound like someone that takes care of their stuff, and wants to get the most use out of it (I am as well....let me tell you!)#ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT face=Tahoma color=#c080ff size=4#ed_cl##ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT face=Tahoma color=#c080ff size=4#ed_cl#Best of luck to you getting a pair! #ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
