Belleville Boots: USA-Made Steel Toe Military Boots 610Z ST

I loved how comfortable these have been for the past year and a half I have worn them and love a zipper function but that's where the rub lies. I have been through 2 pairs of these because the way the zipper has been designed it has busted on me twice and as of this morning my second set I have bought busted. I saw this coming because of the way the zipper started to separate from the boot like my first pair and went ahead and ordered the Tactical Research 601ZCT (the 601ZCT zipper is built-in vertically instead of along the length of the laces like the 610ZST which I think is why its busted on my so many times) this last weekend and await for them to arrive tomorrow, luckily I had a backup pair of Bellv 600ST boots in a moving box I could scrounge so I could go to work this morning. If you don't use the zipper too much on these they are very comfortable boots (shoot I could even run in them it was sooooo comfortable), problem is that with the way the zipper is designed on these I have a hard time rating these any higher than I have considering how expensive these are and how fast they broke on me. On a side note if you do end up getting these Belleville doesn't run true to size, I wear a 12 in normal shoes and had to go down to a 11.5W, suggest you go at least 1/2 to a full size down when ordering.
