I should've listened to the reviews here.  Looking at the picture online I didn't mind how the zipper looked. I thought it gave a plain boot a little funkiness. But in person it just looked cheap.  Also, the zipper had this brown gook on the zip part. It could be glue or something but it is hard to try to remove. I'm so sending these back ASAP. I have short legs that are kind of big so these boots just aren't the right fit for me.  They're tight around my calves and baggy around my ankles. AND the leather isn't as rich looking and buttery in person.
