Getting Zippers to stay up on Tredstep tall boots?

Hey all! So I have a pair of Tredstep Donatello tall boots. They are great! However, when I am jumping in them the zippers unzip partially. It is driving me crazy! Is there anything I can do to get the zipper to stay up?

That means they’re either too tight, too tall, or broken. The too tight can be fixed with a slight stretching, the zipper can be replaced, but too tall is hard to fix.

Hmm, I agree that it sounds like something is wonky with the fit. I don’t have this problem with my Da Vinci’s.

Mine do that too. But, it only unzips a few inches. My boots are definitely not too tight, they are perfectly broken in.

I think the “catch” at the top of the zipper is not as strong as it could be though. It doesn’t hold snugly…

Check your boots: my Donatellos have a double leather tab at the top that snaps across the zipper. The underneath tab has a slot in it for the zipper to stick through and help hold it up. Are you using that? (It took me a while to figure out what it was for, so I thought I’d make sure you knew, too).

I never realized that, but you are right, JBCool!!

Thanks… Hope this helps OP too :wink:

After owning my donatellos for months, someone pointed out to me the leather tab that prevents the zipper from opening when riding. Felt like a dunce, but problem solved. Have to say, these are awesome boots for the price point!

:lol: That’s exactly why I shared that info for the OP: my DH actually pointed it out to me. I never would have figured it out myself! Yep, felt a little like a dunce, too, Sue :yes:

Oh dear lord… nope, definitely wasn’t using that!! thanks! Perfect! Seems like this is common for these boots and they have found a way to mitigate it.

Thanks again!

no problem!
