I have Cold Feet – How Do I Keep Them Warm In The Winter?
With the cold weather upon us, your feet have a tendency to get really cold, really quickly. Here are some tips to keeping them feel as warm as possible:
- Avoid cotton socks. When your feet naturally sweat, cotton socks absorb and trap that moisture. When it is cold outside, the moisture in the socks will start to freeze, thereby making your feet cold. Your best choice is socks made of wool.
- Wear good boots. When there is snow, slush, and ice outdoors, you want to be prepared. Choose boots that are waterproof, come up high enough to your ankle or above to protect against the elements, and made with an insulating liner.
- Keep your toes moving. If you are going to be outdoors for an extended period of time, wiggle your toes up, down, and around to keep blood flow moving to your toes. This will keep your toes feeling warmer for longer.
