Have you purchased the Clarks Bendables Whistle Watch boots?

Clarks Bendables Leather & Suede Lace-Up Boots - Whistle WatchA257389

Mine arrived and they're adorable - but I'm wondering if others are having problems with the side zippers? With boots like these, I prefer to adjust the lacing and then uses the zippers for putting them on and removing them. My zippers are "stuck" and won't fully go down - only about 1/2".

Anyone else?

I don't own them, but try rubbing a pencil (lead) over the zippers a few times and they should become unstuck.

i Have the whistle Clark boot in the brown leather style. Love them. I am on wait list for this style with the suede leather combo. I have not had a problem with any sticking of zippers, but I agree with other reviewers…try rubbing a candle over the track. That should make it glide more easily. Good luck.

I ordered the navy on waitlist, and I'm glad to see that they are in process. Interesting fix by using a pencil. I will remember that.

You can also try wax paper on the zipper.
