The zipper on the boots I received did not work right. I could barely unzip them just to get the packing materials out of the boots. Zipping them up by themselves was way too tricky. The zipper seems really heavy-duty, but it continuously gets stuck, and it seems to be caused by a number of things, such as the lining lip under the zipper and the way the zipper is sewn in place. I felt like I might break the zipper. I intended to wear these with skinny jeans, but could not fit them in there. Leggings worked, but too tight to be really comfortable. What other reviewers said about the zipper curving in towards the back of the ankle is totally true and poorly constructed. While it fit the shape of my leg ok, not everyone will be shaped like that exactly. These boots look great and I totally wanted to keep them, but because the zipper was sooooo difficult, I felt I had to return them, and did. I know how a boot zipper should work, you know too, and this zipper does not work.
