When it comes to side zip boots,Overview of Great Side Zip Boots for Guys Articles men might complain that they're too fashionable or stylish to be masculine. However, zippered boots are quickly becoming one of the hottest new trends in male fashion - with ultra-manly brands like the Australian Boot Company and others coming out with "city boots" that are both comfortable and cool. 

For a rundown of some of the hottest zippered city boots available this season, keep reading. 

The New York City Boot By Kenneth Cole ($220)

Designed by Kenneth Cole, this sleek city boot is all about its cool, grey leather. Break away from boring black with this unique boot that's both smooth and sophisticated.

The biggest appeal of this particular boot is the lack of designs or embellishments. Free from buttons, clasps, buckles or stitching, the overall style is understated yet powerful. The best features are the non-slip heels - perfect for snowy or wet days.

City Ankle Boots by Hugo Boss ($199)

These boots are designed to function and look good - making them a pretty nice pair of side zip boots. Most men will appreciate the rugged appeal of these heavy-duty boots, but also enjoy the waterproof functionality that lets you run though anything without worry.

These boots are made to take a beating in winter weathers. So, if you're looking for something that you can wear in snowstorms or dodging puddles on your way to the subway, these are it.

Timberland Zippered Walking Boots ($125+)

Though stylish, Timberland boots are actually more about comfort than fashion. Designed with the Timberland Smart Comfort System, these boots are made for long hikes and afternoon treks, but are still stylish enough to wear out on the town. They even come with a waterproof guarantee for life to boot. The look is rugged and rustic, but still modern - making them a nice choice for winters in the city.

Gucci City Boots ($500+)

For a classy urban style, Gucci city boots offer an ankle-boot look with a comfortable, zip-up fit. Their cool, soft and comfortable leather look great with anything, particularly a pair of jeans. However, with a lofty price tag, you may want to keep them safe from blistery winter days or dark and murky puddles.

For side zip boots, men should look for boots that not only look good, but also fit well right off the bat. Unlike leather shoes, boots are less likely to stretch out, particularly around the ankles - which means finding the right perfect is crucial.
