Editing Ski boot (section)

===Knee-highs===
In 1980 four designs were introduced that all rose to a point just under the knee. They were normal ski boots below, but used an extended tongue that fastened around the upper leg using a variety of methods. They offered much greater edging control, and were quickly copied by many other companies. They all disappeared by 1983, a victim largely of fashion - ski pants would not fit over them. None are produced today.<ref>Seth Masia, [https://books.google.com/books?id=-JLvKdmbA1AC&pg=PA17 "The Rise and Fall of the Knee-High Boot"], ''Skiing Heritage Journal'', June 2003</ref>
