Tall boots with or without zippers?

Which kind of tall English riding boots do you prefer, with zippers or without? I would think with zippers would be nice, but has anyone had problems with the zipper?

WITH!!!!! OMG WITH ZIPPERS!!!!!!!

I learned this when I thought I’d save money and just get the slip ons…worst boot mistake of my life…after a few near death experiences trying to get them off (one friend almost ran head first into a pole…we laughed afterward, but it could have been really bad!), I had zippers installed. However, since they were done seperately, they looked pretty bad and didn’t last as long.

Slip ons:
–Sometimes have to wear plastic bags to help slide foot
–have a more complicated procedure to find a good fit (has to fit to calf, while still giving room for slidage)
–Don’t make a big difference in appearance
–Often need other persons handy for removal (the technique: friend holds boot between legs, facing same direction as you, and you push on that friend’s butt to slide out of boot)

Zips:
–basically eliminates many of the problems above
–need to have strong zippers. Metal, not plastic.

Get the zipper.
