Julia Mancuso

Julia Mancuso is the ideal Boot Nation heroine. She is beautiful, successful and does whatever she wants. On skis, that means Julia wins races and Olympic medals. Mancuso won the gold medal in the Giant Slalom at the 2006 Winter Olympic Games in Turin, Italy. Four years later, Julia won two silver medals in the Downhill and Combined events. Julia's three Olympic medals at the most any female alpine skier has ever won during her Olympic career. In addition, Julia competed in the 2002 Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City Utah. Lastly, Julia has has seven wins on the World Cup circuit, including the 2012 season. 

Boot Nation loves Mancuso because of her power though. During the 2006 and 2010 Julia wore a plastic tiara during her races and she proved to be worthy of a queen. Julia's success is not limited to the slopes, however. Mancuso started her own lingerie line called Kiss My Tiara. Julia has also been an underwear model and modeled for Lange snow boots. 

Julia also wears knee high grey boots too! Julia plans to compete in her forth Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia in 2014. We hope to  see a lot more of Julia wearing her boots & tiara and winning medals in the future.

Kristi Yamaguchi was born in Hayward, California on July 12, 1971. She is forth generation Japanese-American. Kristi's family endured great hardship during World War II and she herself experienced physical difficulties as a young child. However, Kristi is of Japanese heritage and the Japanese are strong  people. Kristi Yamaguchi won the Gold Medal in Women's Figure Skating at the 1992 Olympic Winter Games in Albertville, France when she was 21 years old. To the wold's great disappointment, Kristi retired from amateur skating and turned professional. She skated with Stars on Ice for several years and it was a honor to watch her perform. 

Kristi  is one of the most popular female athletes in American sports history and has maintained her popularity in the 20 years since winning her gold medal. Kristi has had a varied career. She was drafted by the Los Angeles Dodgers as a relief pitcher, but had to retire after only one game due to injury. It was a memorable event however because she wore high heel boots during her outing. After baseball, Kristi took up boxing, but had to quit because everyone loved her so much, no one would hit her. 

On a serious note, Kristi got married and has two daughters. She also established the Always Dream Foundation for children. Kristi has also written two children's books. Dream Big, Little Pig reached #2 on the New York Times Best Seller list . A sequel, Its a Big World Little Pig was release in March, 2012. Lucky for us, Kristi wore some nice knee high riding boots during her promotional book tour!

Kristi regained national stardom in 2008 when she competed in ABC's hit TV show, Dancing With the Stars. It wasn't a fair competition. As you would expect, the gold medal ice skater won Dancing With the Stars and the hearts of millions of fans all over again.
