Spent the last two-and-a-half weeks in our cabin in Norway where it’s currently -23°C (-9.4°F). The ripple soles did alright but I’ll need to make a dedicated, insulated winter boot for here. The snow has a crusty layer and is quite abrasive. They also need some conditioning but I only have sno-seal here and I might want something different this time.

US Men's Brannock: 12C HTB/13 HTT
Custom 3D-printed Last: 13D
This is last is the fourth iteration that I’ve 3D printed to make boots. Compared to the last I’ve used in the previous dome for my LTT, this iteration has more arch support, a refined toe and sits tighter around the area from heel to balls on the lateral side.
