Zip boots

Occasionally I get a wild hair for a pair of zipper boots. The ankle height medial side zip kind everywhere in the 70s.
Problem is I have a long high arch, so in non lace boots I usually need a narrow (B) width.
I see addict boots make a zip boot, but they say they’re a low arch, and I wouldn’t have an easy way to try and return as I’m in the US.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Many thanks.

Wesco used to make them and stopped. IIRC they said that zippers on boots eventually became reliably unreliable. Not sure how they might have been bad on boots but fine on jackets but I do know they used to but don't anymore.

Most of my boots are zippered, and every time I hear this argument about reliability, I gesticulate wildly towards a closet full of zippered jackets.

Back on topic, have had my eyes on a few different zippered pairs from Rolling Dub Trio (the Casper and the Gleaners) but I never seem to find them in stock when I'm on the hunt.
