I probably lost the zipper on Friday. Realized Monday morning. Mentioned to someone I lost a zipper somewhere on the ground as a joke at work. They took me seriously and notified "houseman" (guy who cleans our workplace). My workplace has 500 employees btw. Posted here Monday night. Was looking into how I'd fix the broken zipper with YKK zippers or bring to a cobbler etc. It could have fallen on the subway, parking lot, side of the road, sidewalk, literally anywhere so I'm already over it. I look down today on my desk and it's just there taped down....houseman somehow saw it on the ground at shipping and thought it could be what I was looking for. I think I might have used up all my luck for the rest of my life for this damn CCP zipper.

nice man this is a good outcome.

if you bought from a retailer you can always email said retailer and ask if CCP would fix the boot, this would require shipping the boot over to Italy.

Someone from ccp actually got back to my email. They said I can ship to them for repair. Should I though? Would a good pro shoe cobbler be able to fix it? I know it’s a double zipper which makes it complicated but if I can avoid shipping it over seas and waiting weeks, I’d rather do that. Not sure what I’ll do. What do y’all think? DIY still seems hard since it’s the bottom zipper that is broken. If it was the top, you could take it out without worrying about the teeth. You need wide flat nose pliers to press the teeth in to get both zippers back in etc. The ccp guy said they are difficult to repair. Idk why he said that though.

I’m highly against DIY, that never goes well. If you have a shoe repair person you trust then that’s the cheaper options. But look, let’s say you have a Rolex who do you want to fix the Rolex, the official company or a random person?

I personally would eat the shipping cost, I recommend DHL not USPS. CCP does these repairs all the time and will fix.

Yeah, highly agree with this, especially as nothing CCP is really standard.

It's a standard *zipper*. It's a YKK zipper with a custom pull. Putting it back on should be straightforward enough.

Oh, wait, it's just the tab? Or the entire zipper.

From the picture both of the boot and of what was covered, it really looks like the tab just got pulled out.

Oh yeah then, just your no local guy. I thought that the zipper itself was broken.

Found the below on Grailed. Thoughts on authenticity before I pull the trigger?

looks legit to me, just fyi those are a tad above retail probably because the seller is trying to recoup grailed fees

Is there somewhere online I can find this boot?? Everywhere I’ve looked seems to be OOS or just doesn’t have them at all.

I wrote up a retailers list but that particular boot (prosthetic dripped tornado) gets bought up quick.

office has the biggest stock but Darklands gets pretty steady shipments.
