Zippers can be tricky. Depending upon what has actually gone wrong, it may be possible to repair the zipper. But in most cases you are going to end-up replacing the zipper. Either way, the average person does not have the skills and/or equipment to do the job right. Any competent shoe repair shop should be able to do the job fairly inexpensively. Unless you're prepared to toss the boots, it's about the only way to go.

In that case I don't see what I can do to help you.

You will probably have to do some travelling...

Perhaps there's a shoe repair shop in a not-too-distant city?

Well, if the local gentry all have their tongues hung in the middle so that they'll wag on both ends, you could try going on-line and finding a shop you can ship them to. There has to be someone in the entire kingdom you can turn to.

Another thing, if the zipper failed straight out of the box, you may have a warranty that you need to look into. Unless you bought the boots "AS IS", there is usually an implied warranty with the product.
