Keep looking for a picture of the Henke "Rebel". A higher end 3 buckle plasticized leather boot form around 71ish or so. It was red white & blue like everything else about then. It skied well but didn't hold up well. Think I went through 3 pairs that season.

That was the last leather boot I skied in.
