It’s very weird to work super hard on something for a year and a half in total secrecy, then all of a sudden the thing is out there for everyone in the world to see.

Anyway, it looks like the first two episodes of “Skeleton Crew” are now playing on Disney+. Hope you like it!

@szakib Thanks, szakib! My cycling shoes are just cloth 510s, not windproof at all. I tried a pair of Merrells, which are not bad (and some wool socks), but I honestly do not have a proper pair of really warm boots. Thanks!

@JF_Sebastian67 Just whatever winter boots you wear otherwise. And warm socks.

@horststorkebaum Thanks so much, Horst! This is all really great information. I think the Ragnaroks may not be warm enough. I will go to REI, which carry Wolvhammers and I will try on a pair. Thanks!!

I forgot to mention that I always had to size up one size with any 45 NRTH shoe model.

@JF_Sebastian67 I only use my current Wölvhammers - also an older model - for mountain bike rides at around freezing or below. Those are warm enough without overshoes for me. Unfortunately the current Wölvhammers are much too wide for my slender feet. So I keep my beloved Wölvhammers in good shape and try to not wear them down.

I would definitely recommend 45 NRTH shoes. Over the last 12 years or so I have used several pairs of four different models, and they were all of high quality.

@JF_Sebastian67 It's hard to estimate how much insulation your feet need as the range of sensitivity is quite big. I'm certainly above average in my toes' sensitivity to cold. At least when compared to men who ride outside all year.
I have older model Ragnaroks, and they are definitely to cold for me below freezing. I combine them then with thick neopren overshoes, and might even use heated socks to keep my toes really toasty.

@horststorkebaum Thanks so much, Horst! I am just outside Philly, in the States. Lowest temps I will ride are usually no worse than like 25F, -4C or so. The Wolvhammer boots might be overkill, they seem pretty serious, thanks!

It depends on what you call winter. How cold it gets during your rides, and how sensitive your toes are.
If you regularly ride in temps below freezing for more than an hour I'd personally rather consider their Wölvhammer boots.
