I have hip and knee pain (probably from playing tennis when I was younger) and I just couldn't zip my boots up and I love wearing ankle boots and knee high boots because I'm very fashionable so I thought what can i get to help me with this? I searched for Revain before any other site because you have it all! I bought a pair of pliers and they work great; Now I don't feel any pain when I put on and take off my beautiful boots. I guarantee you no one else will tell you they bought pliers to close their boots. Works for me, thanks again Revane for having everything I need to buy. gdimatteo
