Do you have cold feet?

[milestogo]

I mean literally, are your feet always cold? What do you do about it?

[LakeArenal]

1. Only at night and I've worn socks to bed forever.

[niyad]

2. I believe that there are warmers one can put in one's so cks, for starters.

[MFM008]

3. Get your iron levels

Checked.

[niyad]

4. I just googled "solutions for cold feet". . An extensive list of products, including rechargeable

heated socks. Something there should help.

[milestogo]

8. I have battery operated socks, but I meant to use those for outdoor winter sports

like cross country skiing or snowshoeing.

Maybe I will have to rethink that.

[zanana1]

44. I have rechargeable slippers.

I can't go to bed without them. I tried the socks, but they just warmed my instep, not my toes.

[brewens]

5. Thermal socks all through the cold months. One of those oil filled radiator style space heaters

is about three inches from my feet when in the sweet spot on my recliner couch.

I also wear these really light comfortable thermal undies all winter.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

6. As I've aged, they've turned into frickin' ice cubes!

I also wear socks to bed - year 'round - and around the house in summer when the A/C is running. In winter, I aim my little space heater at my feet when they get too cold while I'm sitting at my desk.

[milestogo]

7. I just bought something on Amazon that's like a sleeping bag for your feet.

An hour after soaking in a hot bath, my feet are ice cold. I don't have poor circulation and I take iron. I also don't like wearing socks to bed... but I may have to change.

[CrispyQ]

9. I sleep with a heating pad at my feet in the winter.

If my feet are cold, I'm cold.

10. We have a rice bag

also know as "rice boy." 😀

You stick it in the microwave for 3 minutes then put it in bed at your feet! Works great!

[milestogo]

11. "rice boy"

[cilla4progress]

22. It earned that name because we learned of it from

my longtime twice-divorced friend who, in her 60s, finally found true love!

It was her bedtime companion of many years - serving that most valuable of purposes that a human bed partner does!

Keeping her feet warm, that is.

[zanana1]

45. You can make one with an old sock.

Just pour some rice in it, knot the end and microwave for 20 seconds.

[hlthe2b]

12. Wool socks--even in the summer time. They are the most breathable fabric possible, but

very temperature regulating.

[multigraincracker]

13. Yes, I have

non diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy.
Yesterday I had blood drawn for DNA as I may have some form of familial amyloidosis.

Background
My father and brother along with me, all have late onset Peripheral Neuropathy or tingly cold feet and have lost a lot of feeling. We all have high arches and glaucoma.

So, it looks like we, my brother and I as dad died at 90 about 11 years ago, will be getting lots of test and may be looked at for the new CRISPR studies.

or we may not.

I now have trouble walking without tripping, but have no trouble running. Go figure.

[multigraincracker]

15. In the winter, I now wrap an

old sleeping bag around my legs and feet.


Best of luck and you may want to see a neurologist.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

14. At night only.

Actually, it's possible my feet are cold all day but I don't notice it until I go to bed.

I use a heating pad to warm them.

I'll also say that I am comfortable at cooler temperatures than most people. Yes, I feel the cool, but I'm fine with it. But I do warm up my feet at night.

[Emile]

16. Wool socks and an electric throw blanket.

[IcyPeas]

18. I carry my electric throw blanket with me from sofa to bed to sofa to bed....

I love it and I don't have to turn the heat up.

[Emile]

23. We set our thermostat down to save on propane and snuggle

up under our electric throws. We stay warm and save on propane too.

[pansypoo53219]

17. well, i need socks after dark, but about 1990 i started major barefooting in warmer weather to 32f.

then 2000 barefooted in WISCONSIN all year. in time i could do 10f easy. walk fast. my blood circulation is great. then my hands were freezing. aha. no gloves til necessary shoes + my hards are now toasty. yes. the 1st few years thru snow harder. but all of a sudden, you can take 'cold'.
yes. i grew up barefoot. yes i hate shoes.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

19. Yeah grew up barefoot too

If I wear shoes the minute I get home the shoes get taken off along with the socks. My feet run hot.
I hate when blankets trap my feet. When Im in bed the covers will be off my feet.
My favorite shoes are my crocs and my DocMartins. They are wider than most shoes and they breathe well.

[Scrivener7]

20. I don't understand. Are you saying you go barefoot outside in 10 degrees Farenheit and in snow?

[pansypoo53219]

39. if its dry, i will be barefoot to 15f. i can do snow, fluffy better. but i am looking forward to feb

sunny days in feb are nice. i can do any temp for a minute. w/ socks i can do more. ballet slippers of socks for shoes. nevermind that i wear like 8 layers.

[Scrivener7]

40. Is there a health benefit or do you just like the feeling?

[pansypoo53219]

42. prevent neuropathy i hope.

[Scrivener7]

43. Ahhh! That's kind of brilliant.

[pansypoo53219]

50. you wound't belive my sensitivity + blood flow. i was walking thru snow*8 in and i could feel it

rushing to my feet. i could tell the difference between a bare woos floor + the sanded side. 'we' barefooters search out things to feel. like moss or sawdust. my feet don't smell or sweet too. and i have saved soooooo much money on shoes over 22 years. not that i ever had many shoes.

[Anon-C]

21. Loll...not literally.

[Donkees]

24. Shearling slippers

[milestogo]

25. Those look warm and comfortable.

[Fla Dem]

26. Yes they do get cold on occasion, but mostly they run hot.

[Harker]

27. That's something.

Mine don't run at all anymore.

[Fla Dem]

28. Hmm, wondered if anyone would catch that.

Good Job!!

[Harker]

29. Sock it to me!

[Fla Dem]

30. If you were a heel I would, but you seam like a nice person.

Back at ya.

[Harker]

31. That's quite a pair...

I'll toe the line henceforth.

[milestogo]

32. Don't play footsie with me.

[Harker]

33. I'd get stepped on, and you'd be the sole survivor.

[milestogo]

34. Who would be footing the bill for that?

[Harker]

35. My podiatrist.

She's my arch enemy.

[milestogo]

37. Did she give you plantar fascitis?

Its a form of bodily fascism.

[Harker]

38. She tried, but I was vaccinated.

She got rich pedaling drugs.

[Polybius]

41. Well no, but I can't date anyone who wears socks to bed

It's a dealbreaker.

[mopinko]

46. i have reynauds, so, yeah. feet, hands.

wool/cotton socks at all times. plus i sleep between 2 100lb dogs.

[milestogo]

47. My dog sleeps against an outer door until he gets too cold,

and then he brings his freezing body into my bed to warm himself up.

[mopinko]

48. i used to have a pair of terriers that slept at my feet.

that was great. your dog is just rude. 😝

[milestogo]

49. He's just using me.

But he's cute so he gets away with it.
