Old Running Shoe becomes a Three Pin Boot. . .

with duct tape! Also a piece window trim pine 1/8" thick x 3/4" wide
to cover the pins. Didn't even drill holes.

I will post an "Instructable" (www.instructables.com) after I get it
to work a second and third time.

This method is of course not very stiff or water proof but it worked
ok for around the block a few times. I have friends who want to try
cross country skiing and I have several sizes of thrift store skis but
boots not so much.

Anybody else have improvised three pin boots experiences?

As always thanks much in advance.
