Sticky Zipper on Boots

I just got a used pair of boots. The zipper is still operable, but sticks especially at the bottom. The zipper is plastic. The boots, all man-made material, are well worn. The zipper is still strong, but hard to zip. Any ideas? Thanks.

You can also rub either the stub of a candle, or a crayon that matches the zipper on the teeth, to help the sticking.
