Provenance

These are a fairly standard pair of cross-country ski boots with the classic three holes in the toe to match with a Rottefella (or similar) three pin binding. The makers, Munari of Italy, seem to have been in the business for quite a while starting with leather boots in the old days and progressing onto mainly plastic downhill ski boots in 2013. This pair of boots were once part of a large collection of cross country ski gear belonging to Mick Tighe.
