    Does anybody know of anywhere I can get the zip on my boots fixed? The finger tag has broken off and it makes it very difficult/impossible to use the zip :'(

    If it's just the tag that's broken, you can put a keyring through the slot on the slider part:

    I think that actually makes it easier to use than the original!

    I've got several old jacket zips like that! ;D Works a treat

    We got a new heavy duty zip put in a Sidi boot at a cobllers in Bath.
    Cost £20 but a lot chepaer than new boots.

    If it's just the tag use a keyring.
    We have a few items of clothing like this.
