Winters in the little town of Torpsbruk, Sweden (pop. 354) are uncommonly long, cold, and dark.
The natives have developed a wide range of adaptive responses (e.g., no Kirkegaard allowed), but the wooden-and-leather shoes you see here have a special place in their hearts.
The mere thought of slipping them on to run through the first snödroppen and tulpaner blooms gets them (and their feet) through many a gloomy hour.
They’ll put spring in your step, too; and go on to take you cheerfully into summer, as well.
