Boots can never truly be “for life” but I’d personally avoid a zipper if you want them to last as close to a lifetime as possible.

Zippers are often the first thing to fail on boots, and are a huge pain to replace. Boots can be resoled and leather can generally be repaired, but a broken zipper can kill a boot (this is my personal experience and opinion).
