BUCKS® Ryder: Built for Work, Designed for Convenience. Looking for a solid pair of steel-toe work boots with zippers that won’t slow you down on the job? The BUCKS® Ryder Zip-up Work Boot might just be your new favorite. These boots pack serious protection, but with the bonus of a side zipper for quick, no-hassle wear.
Let’s dive into why zipper work boots are a game changer—and why the Ryder is a top pick.
Why Choose Work Boots with Zippers?
👢 Quick On & Off = Time Saved
Traditional lace-up boots are great, but in some situations where boots need to come off and go on frequently laces can be a hassle. Slip-on options are great too but only if you don’t require the support and protection of an 8-inch boot. That’s where Zipper work boots come in to let you slide in and out in seconds.
💪 Same Safety, Less Hassle
Zipper boots still offer everything you’d expect from a tough work boot: steel toes, slip-resistant soles, and durable construction. You’re not giving up safety—you’re just making your day a bit easier.
👣 All-Day Comfort
Most modern zipper boots include cushioned insoles, ankle support, and breathable linings to keep your feet happy, even during long hours.
🛠️ Zippers Can Be Safer Than Laces
In certain work environments, laces can actually be a safety hazard. If you’re around moving machinery, rotating tools, or heavy equipment, loose or untied laces can get caught—leading to serious injuries. Zipper boots reduce that risk. Since you’re not constantly tying or retying them, there’s no chance of laces dragging on the ground or coming loose mid-task.
🏍️ Great for Motorcyclists, Too
If you ride a motorcycle to work, zipper boots are a no-brainer. You don’t want your laces flapping around near your chain, brake, or gear shift. A clean zip-up boot like the BUCKS® Ryder stays secure and snug without the danger of tangled laces while riding. Plus, they’re tough enough for the road and the job site.

FAQs About Work Boots with Zippers
❓ Are zipper work boots safe?
Yes! Most zipper work boots, like the BUCKS® Ryder, come with the same safety features as lace-ups—CSA Certification, steel toes, slip-resistant soles, and puncture resistance.
❓ Do zippers break easily?
Not if they’re made right. BUCKS® Ryder boots are manufactured with a durable zipper and are supported by our 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
❓ Are zipper boots more comfortable than lace-up boots?
They can be. Many people find zipper boots more comfortable because they don’t loosen up like laces do throughout the day. Plus, they’re easier to get off after a long shift.
❓ Who should wear zipper work boots?
Anyone who values speed, convenience, and comfort. These are especially useful for:
- First responders
- Law enforcement
- Warehouse workers
- People with limited mobility
- Construction crews
❓ Can I use zipper boots in wet conditions?
That depends on the boot. The leather upper of the BUCKS® Ryder is water-resistant but just be aware that the zipper is not. The zipper starts part way up the boot so you’re still pritected from shallow puddles.
