I have a similar(ish) zipper related question, The zipper on one of my snow boots is destroyed. The teeth are ripping out of the fabric. The only cobbler I could find near me that will do zippers replaced the zipper on the other boot last year and I am not really a fan of his work. I have some okay sewing skills and would like to try fixing it myself. Is a sewing awl the right tool for this job? I saw this posted earlier in the thread for fixing a purse strap: http://www.amazon.com/Speedy-Stitcher-T200-Sewing-Awl/dp/B000HGIJQ4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1389625550&sr=8-2&keywords=speedy+stitcher Here's the boot: It's about 4 years old and otherwise in great shape but the zippers are just awful apparently If I can do a decent job replacing this zipper, I will probably pull out the one the cobbler did last year and redo it myself as well.

Thanks for the tips, guys! I had a hard time seeing the holes from the inside of the shoe, so it was pretty tough. 3 hours of my life I will never get back. I think I will hold off on redoing the other shoe. The metal/black zipper on the right is the new replacement! Hopefully the mismatched zipper colors won't bother me too much, but these aren't fashion boots anyway... I hope it lasts
