I injured my foot many years ago and the ankle has deteriorated over the years. I had trouble pulling on one of my dress boots due to the swelling of the ankle so I took them to the local shoemaker who put a zipper in the boot for me. Cost like $15. Maybe you could consider that.

So what I thought would be neat and easy to slip on would be a pair of slip on boots like engineer boots, but with a zipper on the side. Since I can't bend my toes, I can't slide into a high top pull ups unless they had a zipper.
Can anyone steer be towards a source please?
Thanks,

Thanks John, clean and not over the top is what I was shooting for, and coming from a southern Californian, that's a great prop.

Look for

They are a classic motorcycle harness boot with a zipper down the back. Saw these is person yesterday...look nice. Shouldn't be hard to find a dealer near you.

Sounds like Fred Flintstone feet.
Another way to go is to find a loose fitting pair of cowboy boots and have a shoe repair man sew a zipper in the side for you. Make sure the soles are oil resistant. Leather soles are bad for your bikes health at red lights. Too much oil on the road.
