winter foot wear

[jamesd]

I have had problems with my feet getting cold for all my life and have always suffered from chillblains on a regular basis that are pretty bad and painful. So i'm just wondering if anyone could recommend some decent socks and boots that are warm?

 

I currently just wear meindl airstreams and a pair of good quality thick socks but i still suffer..

 

Any advice would be most appreciated!

 

Cheers, james.

Airstream and tkmax ski sock

Had always heard airstreams were a cold boot. Suffer from raynaulds, wear Haixs with good mohair socks,but feet get stone cold at times. Always carry spare dry socks with me to change into for hours drive home

Bought some of these to try out but yet to use them. One thing that does seem to help me is taking Gingko leaf to improve circulation to your feet and hands.

I wear a pair of very thin socks under medium weight ones; the extra layer helps.  If there's any chance of my feet getting wet when it's cold the outer socks are Sealskinz. They're not that warm but better cold and dry than cold and wet.

Me and lentils are best kept apart.

Merino wool ski socks for me. TK maxx usually sell them for a reasonable price or go outdoors. The higher the % of merino the better.

Maybe summer trekking socks , something not to thick.
And thermals , keeping your knees warm.
When I’m driving to work I’ll have shoes on. My boots are on floor facing the heater.
And something which i haven’t tried , but maybe something for you.

Wool socks (merino) are good for me. You can get multi packs from go outdoors pretty cheap. Better than synthetic as they dont smell! Avoid cotton sock as they get damp and eventually cold. You can also get thermal inserts that reflect heat back to your foot rather than going into the boot rubber. All the best with it.
