Yes it can be miserable, my foot just bobbles around like a bobble head trying to get boot on. Going with YKK antique brass I think.  Well as soon as I can find the length I want. Thanks again. 

You can buy YKK zipper by the foot or meter from SailRite I believe they keep most finishes too. Plus they got zipper stops & all the related zipper hardware.

Well mission accomplished. Had a few health issues. Heart attack tried taking me out but still kicking. Have been done for awhile and did achieve my goals.  Can get my bad foot in now without a lot of trouble or pain. I put the zippers in the back, makes it easier for me to slip my foot in.

I do appreciate all the help. Used the YKK zippers glued and sewn in by hand. Was actually pretty easy job. I was a little nervous ok alot nervous. Cutting in to a pair of expensive boots is nerve wrecking. 

My feet have a lot of nerve damage pain and neuropathy. On top of the drop foot. Will try posting a Pic for anyone who may be looking for help. I cut about 1/2 in wide seam basically the stich line. Everything else i cut and pulled out the thread.  Then hand sewing everything back. Take your time and let the glue set up.

That's a neat job of installing zippers.  Looks very professional.
