Hello, I wanted to wait a decent amount of time after reading the Review about the Broken Zipper! First, The Look is Amazing! Receive Compliments all the time on the Conquest II. The look is a bit Different an although Ralph Lauren for some odd reason insisted on the Toe of most of their Boots looking the Same I am pleased to announce the Rest of the Conquest II does appear a bit different. The Fit: Spot On! Ralph Lauren does One think Consistantly which is COMFORT :) I wore these the very First Day and forgot they were new! NO sore Feet the next Day. The Color: IF you want Brand Recognition go with the Tan/Briarwood. I own the Dover II and Everyone knows they are Ralph Lauren. I opted for the Black in the Conquest II as it really stands out especially with Faded Levi's! Amazon pics are Spot On as far as Color which is nice to receive something and not open box and scratch your Head LOL! Overall these are: Water Resistant, Sharp and Comfortable. Now about those Zippers...I use them as little as possible and you can get them on and off pulling the Zippers down about half way up/down. I am VERY careful as I want these to last and after 4 Monthes of Cold and Rain and Now Warm and Sunny am Happy to report NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER! Cheers!
