if they make these boots with a zipper i would buy 6 pairs of these mates like these boots i am very imprest

I've been wearing these boots for a year now , walking nearly 7 miles a day, some days more, on concrete warehouse floor. Almost everything about the boot has held up great. the only thing that wears out a lot are the laces. These boots have a clasp that hooks the laces to keep them from untying themselves, after about 6 months the boot laces started to tear from the repeated rubbing and tension from that metal clasp. But its not like boot laces are really expensive.Another small issue is that the rubber covering the composite toe has started to peel a little bit, but it doesn't matter too much since its still behind the stitching. It hasn't effected the waterproofing at all. Overall these boots are great for the price and would highly recommend them.
