I wish I'd held off one year and got the ones with the zippers... hardest dang boot I've ever tried to get on in my life. I've hardly wore mine at all because of that, even though they ARE comfy when I get them on.

Jk'ing I've not noticed that, but my buddy has the ones with side zippers. That has to be nice.
