My current Jedi boots hurt my feet too much even after they;ve been broken in for 5 plus years... so... I found these at DSW www.dsw.com/shoe/sm+women%27s+mando+riding+boot?prodId=258695&activeCats=dsw12cat1740002,dsw12cat1740052,dsw12cat1740074 I really like them and they fit great, although they have zippers... one useful and one decorative. What's everyone's opinion on zippers? Imo, try to avoid them if possible... but unless you go custom made, that can be difficult. There are no zippers in the SW universe as far as I know. |

Zippers - something we need to live with. Qui-Gon DID have zippers, but they were hidden. I have zippers on one pair of mine and the other one are pull ons. It seems to me the pull ons have a tendency to slouch more.

Cool boots. I don't mind a zipper on the inside but I think this one on the outside isn't as attractive. But decent looking and comfortable boots are very hard to find. So I'd say go with them anyway.

I agree with you on that outside zipper. On first glance, I liked all the straps and buckles, so maybe the zipper won't be that noticeable.

They look great ... zippers are not that big of a deal.

tuck the zipper pull up under the strap and the casual observer won't even notice.

I dont mind zippers if they can be hidden. But it;s up to standards really.

Aaaaah new boots.  Very cool. Do they have zippers?
Honestly, I can't think of any problem with zippers in the GFFA.

Both have zippers inside but deco/semi-functional buckles outside. Given my left ankle & leg, I couldn't get them on or off w/o the zips.

I ordered a new pair of boots last week, pic looks better than the other tall pair I bought, nice buckle details and better colour, also a wider heel base. They should be here before Dragon Con, Yay!

Perfect fit and comfy, a little large, but room for the insoles that I'm putting in them.
