Side zip boots are multi-purpose boots that are highly functional as well as stylish at the same time
. These boots are ideal for situations where one has to spend long hours in the boots. As a result, the side zip will help in easily taking off the boots for quick relaxation. It takes a few seconds to take off the boots or to wear them without really fiddling around with the laces. What distinguishes the high performance boots from the average ones is the use of high quality materials like YKK zippers that can be used thousands of times without really worrying about their breaking or jamming.
The 8 inch side zip boots from Timberland PRO Valor Series offer a great example of boots with high quality side zips.
