<p>Rohitk09, you can buy these items in a good sporting goods store, like REI or Dick’s Sporting Goods or even Sports Authority but you’ll have to be in a major metropolitan area like Chicago to find them. Where will you land when you fly into the U.S.? You can also get good quality products on-line through L.L.Bean, Eddie Bauer, Lands End. WHen I say “snow boots” I just meant sturdy shoes that will keep your feet warm and dry. You may not be playing out in the cold a lot but you’ll be walking all over campus and winters in Kalamazoo can be pretty snowy. Sidewalks will be cleared but paths may be icy or snowy and slushy. I live in the Chicago area – Michigan residents, am I far off the mark here?</p>
