This past summer we were throwing out a bunch of junk, and “cleaning out”. Into the dumpster went my dad’s last boots. The original 92 Equipes, the orange boots. Mice has eaten a lot of the liners. He’d be 102 if alive today. You can’t keep everything....or in our case we can’t. We’re going to try to downsize from two homes into more, and smaller.
I remember at the time thinking “these things are BIG, and that is a long BSL for a guy with a size 9 foot. A 9 with a huge instep, and a big, “rugged” ankle, even late in life. He was an engineer, his company did a lot of work in the ski business and he thought these were brilliant. I had a bigger foot and as I recall a MUCH smaller Lange, HaHa.
Thread brings back good memories for me.
And as I said earlier, I absolutely believe there is a market. Renters, brand newbies, seniors.
I would love to know how big the rental market is these days, and who has what for share. I could see this boot, and whatever they match with it for skis and bindings doing well.
Interesting to watch!
