Zipper Boots

Although you'd probably get away with it in Norway without a problem, you can no longer claim blissful ignorance as of reading this thread. So if you don't feel you're ready for the real thing, I'd advise you to get a pair of zipper boots that aren't cowboy boots. This is not a time to *****foot around.

Thanks for the input. Pull-on boots it is then.

I've had a good luck with numerous pairs (I own 5-6 pairs) of Bally zipper dress boots. The pull ons never worked for me because of the weird foot shape

I have a pair of the Chelsea-style zipper boots and while you skip the problem of the elastic stretching, the zippers tend to rub the inside leg of whatever pants you have over them - I have a few pairs of jeans with small holes just above the ankle because of this.

Anyone know who makes those sort of boots now? I really like the look.
