Black boots recommendations?

[Rex_Tremende]

Just a dumb Marine asking this question, but why is it necessary to have laces, buckle and strap AND a zipper?

I thought it was to teach me how to tie, buckle, zip, and snap. I call them my Fisher-Price Do-And-Learn Action Boots.

Actually, I had a visceral reaction to trying them on, so I had to buy them.

Regards,
Rex.
