If that applies to all who live Up North, I'll pass on the hockey mask (always thought those deals were for the little kids only)and take a discount on a pair of Sorels.
My old boots are about shot after that last winter we had. (And I think they were five or six years old anyway, eh.)
I hear ya. Had to replace my favorite flip-flops after skidding on some ice this past winter pulled one of the thongs out.
