The Fabiano Rio

Bored with his family's Boston shoemaking and cobbler shops, Andrew Fabiano listened to customers and took a stab at the boot trade. In 1957, one of the first waffle-stompers seen on these shores emerged, for $29. Now they go for an unapologetic $268, but history suggests that buys serious mileage. A New Hampshire woman just told the company she's planning a party for her 27-year-old Rios. And, hopefully, a few other guests.

Hey Peter, Just saw your post about the Fabianos. Do you still have them? Thanks Glenn
