Anyone know the brand of megaorthotic shoeboots Dick Button was wearing?

At 81, with a history of head injuries, I get why he would want stable sensible shoes. But the camera angle and Bob Costas’ small feet made Button’s shoeboots impossible to ignore.

What I found funny–other than the mere visuals–NBC 5 Chicago mentioned them Button’s boots on the 10:00 news and the next night he was wearing regular shoes.
