 Side zip boots offer the best in both style and combat readiness, even for individuals who never see combat. Quick on and off capability combines with the custom fit of lace-up boots, making zip boots the perfect choice for hard-working professionals who spend a lot of time on their feet. First responders and emergency services workers especially value the speed with which zip boots can be worn and removed since quick response is often literally the difference between life and death in their professions.
Even though the first zipper-type device was invented in 1851 by Elias Howe, better known as the inventor of the sewing machine, the modern zipper was not devised until 1913. An engineer at the Universal Fastener Company, Gideon Sundback, created both the design of the zipper and the machine used to manufacture it. One of the first commercial uses for this new fastener was in the zip boot galoshes marketed by the B.F. Goodrich company; B.F. Goodrich was also responsible for naming the new device a zipper. Thus, the first zip boots were also the first commercial appearances of the zipper itself.
Today, zip boots are available in a wide range of styles from decorative to practical. Tactical zip boots often feature extra padding at the collar and tongue in order to provide additional comfort for wearers and better protect delicate feet against injury. Polyurethane insoles offer protection against impacts and fatigue from pounding the pavement all day; some zip boots even incorporate removable soles to allow easier cleaning and airing of the boots after a long day of work.
Practical and versatile, zip boots can be purchased in desert tan, jungle green or basic black models. Each offers advantages in certain climates; desert zip boots generally are lighter in weight and feature advanced linings that transfer moisture safely away from feet. Jungle zip boots are waterproof and incorporate nonmetallic construction materials to prevent rust and corrosion in humid climates. Police-style zip boots usually include additional padding at the sole, collar, and tongue to help shield against impacts while walking a beat or running down the street. Regardless of which type you choose, tactical zip boots provide convenience as well as comfort for first responders, military personnel, construction workers, and other individuals who spend a great deal of time on their feet in the course of their daily life.
