Default Looking for a special boot.

I have a bad right foot. I lost the big toe and because of numerous operations on the foot, my remaining 4 toes are frozen in place and can't be bent so this makes pull on boots problematic. I can wear regular lace up boots fine, but get tiered of dealing with the laces.
So what I thought would be neat and easy to slip on would be a pair of slip on boots like engineer boots, but with a zipper on the side. Since I can't bend my toes, I can't slide into a high top pull ups unless they had a zipper.
Can anyone steer be towards a source please?
Thanks,
Marsh

What about these says it has a Double Zipper? I have a different pair of their boots and the ones I have run a little big or about right depends on your foot, can't beat the price and they have held up so far from more than 12K miles.

Check out their other boots too.

"The Boot Camp is constructed of top quality full grain leather and has double zippers which make these leather boots easy-on and easy-off"

Cruiserworks makes such a boot. They have a very good rep with forum members. You could also contact West Coast Boot Co (Wesco boots) and tell them what you need. They are expensive but top notch. Harley also has some zip boots.

This is the boot I have. I have a hard time finding boots that fit me and are comfortable to wear all day. I have a high instep and wide short feet. These boots are great.

Try www.zappos.com I have been wearing Harley lace up's with the zippered side for years. I also have trouble getting boots on because of arther in my hands. Zappos has free shipping to you and back if they don't fit or you don't like the style. I just got another pair last week

These are the boots I wear. Full side zipper so they are very easy to get on and off. They are also comfortable. I wear mine even when im not riding.

Marsh I have the lace up with the zippers in the side , once you have them laced you don't have to lace them anymore just open the side zippers and easy off and on.

Then check out cruiserworks.com or, for a real performance boot that is also waterproof and that you can just step into look at Sidi On Road Goretex boots at $325.
