Walt,
Thanks a million for educating us on this incredibly
practical and ingenious product!
I'm going to order a couple of pairs, including one
for the mother-in-law, who's managed to slip on icy
Minnesota pavement twice in the last 2 years -- first
time resulting in a compound fractured ankle, and the
second time, a broken leg. I guess that we all become
pretty brittle once we reach our mid-70's...
Currently treading carefully in MN,
- Craig
