Not me. Reichle were my first, Nordica, Technica, San Marco, Dolomite and back to Nordica. Note, broke 2 pair of San Marco and the Dolomites. Just split the uppers off the boots. :twisted:

Dolomite Knee highs? Remember that short lived fad. Nordica had a knee high boot as well.

Hansons were wax filled if I remember right. Never owned a pair. That was my Raichle period also, until I tore the upper buckle plastic tongue right off the boot.

I had them. They were Orange.

I think I was skiing in blue jeans at the time, or maybe that was when I had my Nordica banana boots.

No, the knee highs were back when I was a poor Sgt. in the Air Farce so I couldn't afford REAL ski boots. The Reichle's were my first pair back then. Should have just stayed with the AF rentals.

Hence, that is why she's an ex? :) I like how people called them "hatchbacks".

San Marco: wow, that's another name from the past. Do they still exist?

I use an old pair of San Marcos when I do the pond skimming (because I always end up in the pond)

San Marco is HEAD now.

Those Hansens were horrible. That rubber liner was such a sweatbox, the best time to use those boots was springtime with no socks. Wow, I haven't seen a pic of those Burts in years. At least they were slightly more reliable than Spademans. Heavy but otherwise not the worst thing out there at the time.

warning: Grammar police...


It's actually spelled HANSON not HANSEN


reason I say this is of you do a Google search on Hansen Ski Boots, all you get is Helly Hansen

Rear entry....
Back when those boots were popular Tonshend was going through the "I had sex with a man" phase...
