Review of Hot Side Zip Boots For Gentlemen

When it comes to side zip boots, men might shy away from their sleek and smooth style. However, anyone with their finger on the pulse of the runways knows that city boots are a major fashion staple for men this season. Knock offs are everywhere and the styles are both comfortable and chill.

For a rundown of some of the hottest zippered city boots available this season, keep reading.

The New York City Boot By Kenneth Cole ($220)

Designed by Kenneth Cole, this sleek city boot is all about its cool, grey leather. Break away from boring black with this unique boot that's both smooth and sophisticated.

There are few details, no embellishments and a general style that's cool, calm and collected. The best part about these well made city boots? The non-slip heel means they're great for banging around town on a wet or snowy day.

City Ankle Boots by Hugo Boss ($199)

Both fashionable and functional, these are a great pair of side zip boots. Men will love the rustic look of the dark and battered brown leather while women will flock to your understated style. The leather is handcrafted and the zipper made from aged brass, giving these boots a rugged and manly look.

These boots are made to take a beating in winter weathers. So, if you're looking for something that you can wear in snowstorms or dodging puddles on your way to the subway, these are it.

Zippered Boots by Timberland ($139)

Though stylish, Timberland boots are actually more about comfort than fashion. Designed with the Timberland Smart Comfort System, these boots are made for long hikes and afternoon treks, but are still stylish enough to wear out on the town. They even come with a waterproof guarantee for life to boot. The look is rugged and rustic, but still modern - making them a nice choice for winters in the city.

Gucci City Boots ($500+)

These boots are the one of the best for urban indulgence. The ankle boot style and soft, butter-colored leather blend very well together for an overall luxurious shoe. The one drawback? At almost $600 a pair, you may to be too scared to wear these beauties outside the house. If so, invest in a pair of galoshes.

For side zip boots, men should look for boots that not only look good, but also fit well right off the bat. Unlike leather shoes, boots are less likely to stretch out, particularly around the ankles - which means finding the right perfect is crucial.
