If you had Hanson boots you could not leave home without it.

By golly you are correct. It is scaring me a little you know the correct title.

I have a daughter. We all can learn from our kids.

I had the purple rivas until I started racing as a teenager. They set a standard for comfort that took me decades to find again. The silicon spray was mandatory. My wide, brick like feet felt like they were in a nice pair of warm, broken in slippers. The downside was they were heavy. I went from these to the torture of Lange XL 1000s.

Hanson boots used in this 1970s ad. When I was in school lots of kids were using kits to make their own ski wear.
