Been waiting for 2 years now for the NON-ZIP Tactical Sport 2 Black Tall in Men's . Some of us old military guys hate the SIDE ZIP and can tie our boots just fine ! I bought a new pair of the old Tactical Sport Tall every year for over 9 years . The Side Zip digs into the side of my leg and I don't like it . I had to buy a crappy pair of Original SWAT and I even tried other brands like Under Armour and Reebok , but they were too narrow near the arch .
