is the inner tongue connected to the upper on the inner sides to prevent water penetration standing in water?

No, the tongue is a normal shoe tongue and not connected to the zip side,very good value and very comfortable.

Which zip is for normal use and which is decorative

I use all the zips and laces to put them on and to take them off

Im a size 9 foot will that size do or do i need to get a bigger size

I'm a size 8 and these are a true fit for me - and their width is quite generous so they are exceptionally comfortable to wear . I don't think you would have to go up a size unless you have especially wide feet . I'm diabetic so I have to take good care of my feet, avoiding rubbing and chafing to avoid ulceration and other problems, and these do a great job for me so I'll definitely be buying more pairs . I hope this helps .

The description initially says pu leather, but later just leather, so which are these made from?

I bought mine 17 months ago,worn as everyday shoe.Sole has started to split but they have done me well.Im sure they are leather.The leather itself is still OK and not split anywhere.Not really a walking boot.I thought they might be a good motorcycling boot but a bit light for that.
