Buying used boots?

Good idea? bad idea? i guess i'm just wondering how they age, if it's worth saving $200ish to get a pair that's lightly scuffed up. And anyone know what "Zipper on right foot will need to be re-set as it does not zip both sets of teeth together." might mean? my first thought was "just need to put the other zipper side back into the zipper unit, but that seems simple enough that the seller would just do it to avoid listing something like that.

this would be my first set of riding boots as i'm trying to put together my track day setup.

i wouldnt get em unless you KNEW you could fix the zipper.. i know that on both my sets of boots the zipped would have to be completely removed then re-sewn in to be fixed.. there isnt enough room at the bottom to re zip it

that's what i was worried about. had a feeling there'd be no room to work with down there. guess it's a pass then. bummer.

I bought used boots..off ebay. There was nothing wrong with them upon purchase and have treated me well. I've wore them for my track days and on street rides. No issues.

With that being said, you definitely need to get that zipper fixed. I'm guessing you could take them to a tailor or something like that.
