Zip Replacement
Description
Zip Replacement — YKK Type 8 or Type 10 Heavy-Duty Zips
Full zip replacement for riding boots, tall boots, or gaiters. Our craftsmen remove the old zip and install a premium YKK Type 8 or Type 10 heavy-duty zip — the same specification used in the original construction of HQE boots. YKK Type 8 and Type 10 zips are the industry standard for equestrian riding boots, chosen for their strength, smooth operation, and long service life under the stress of regular riding use.
What's Included
- Removal of old or broken zip
- Installation of new YKK Type 8 or Type 10 heavy-duty zip
- Re-stitching to original specification
- Edge finishing and quality inspection
- ✨ Complimentary full leather treatment — included free with every repair and alteration
✨ Free Full Leather Treatment — Included with Every Repair
Every boot that comes through our workshop receives a complimentary full leather treatment at no extra charge. This includes a thorough clean, deep conditioning, and a protective leather treatment applied to the entire boot — not just the repaired area. Your boots leave our workshop looking and feeling better than when they arrived.
This is our standard. Every repair. Every time.
