Downhill Ski Boots: Types And Variations Published on 05/02/2009

Whenever I put my downhill ski boots on, I have to laugh at myself. There is simply no even remotely graceful way to walk around in them. And because mine are black, I always feel like a bad guy in some B-movie: I call them my Darth Vader boots.
