Totally forgot I had a pair of Koflach boot with foam liners in the mid 80's. Great fitting boot, no nonsense. Lasted three season before cracking across the instep. The usual thing with my boots. My sister-in-law bought the same boot the next week. Keeping up with the Jones or sibling rivalry? Probably a little bit of each.
Koflach 411 with foam liner (both pairs). Liquid carbo lunch. Val-d'Isère, 1983.
I remembered Mamie's 7 oz bottle of Coke cost more than our beers.
