I ordered these boots thinking they had a side zip for easy on and off which was my fault and the description is 100% correct. Well, having said that, I have to say. These boots are damn comfortable once they've been broken in. The first 12 hours or two shifts worried me they wouldn't work, but they passed! They're a bit awkward to put on and take off, especially when you've had a rough day and are already irritable haha. I ordered a size (US) 10 as the 9.5 was out of stock and they fit just as well if not better than my other UA boots that I've swapped out for. Overall I would recommend giving them a chance. definitely also your man with a side zip.
