If it's the 'pull' you can use a small keyring.
If it's the actual bit that fastens the teeth together (The pull head), then you are pooped.. New zip I'm afraid.

Some good cobblers will do them.
Good luck with it.

I agree with what Murt has said. I have a number of zips on boots & Jackets that have broken zip sliders I use fishing snap swivels very strong, small & do not rust.

its the fastener thingy. Looking at the boot the zip is pretty much 'one' with the boot, so god knows how a cobbler would be able to get a new one in there - might give it a go anyway...

If there not very old have a word with the makers... Sometimes a polite ' excellent bit of kit but I was surprised when... at the age...' email with a request for a fix can do the trick.
