Sure, no worries.
Yeah the zips are sooooo useful. I've got them on both of my para boots. I've laced them up with 550 paracord so if I need a bit it's there, but always use the zips. When you get home after a hard day playing and you're cold, wet and dirty, zip and they're off. Excellent. Really strong too, only had one bust on me after years of abuse.
