Yamahas..from a department store...$99. inlcuding bindings, if I recall correctly...1970's??
Ended up with used, ancient black frankenstein boots..at least they had clips, not lace ups...due to high instep.
Took a long time to find out I was wearing "bedroom slippers" over the years to ski...only skiied a couple times a year back then..snowplow.
Amazing what a good pair of boots can do...like being able to feel the edge of the ski dig in...
