These Boots Are Made For Walking

I now know what ski poles are really intended for: aiding you in traversing down stairs. If you've ever walked around in ski boots, you know exactly what I’m talking about. They are great when you are on the mountain slopes, but when you are walking through a café or lodge they are pretty much the worst thing ever. I felt like a toddler when walking as I had to take each step one at a time. Despite the impediment, each step did give a satisfactory deep “thunk”, so I guess ski boots have that small thing going for them.
