If you have cold feet in the evening: Possible causes and what you can do
Many people know the feeling: After a long day, you come to rest, put your feet up and relax - but suddenly you notice that your feet are ice cold. Cold feet in the evening are a widespread problem, especially in the cold season. The unpleasant feeling can spoil a cozy evening and make it difficult to fall asleep. Why do feet often get cold in the evening and what can you do to keep your feet warm? In this article you will find the causes of cold feet in the evening and get tips on how to keep them warm for the long term.
What are the causes of cold feet in the evening?
A common cause of cold feet in the evening is the body's natural reaction to rest. When you relax, the body reduces blood circulation in the extremities to save energy. This means that less heat flows to the hands and feet, making them more susceptible to cold. Feet and hands that are far away from the center of the body therefore cool down quickly. In addition, external influences such as a cold floor, thin socks or a light duvet can make you feel colder.
Another problem is often the shoes you wear during the day. Tight shoes that restrict blood flow can lead to less blood flow to your feet in the evening and make them cold more quickly. People who like to go barefoot or wear only thin socks also have cold feet more often, especially when the room temperature is low. The combination of all these factors means that many people have cold feet in the evening and when they go to bed.
What to do about cold feet?
Luckily, there are some simple measures that are specifically designed for the evening that will ensure that your feet stay warm and cozy while you relax. Here are the best tips for warm feet in the evening:

Warm socks made of merino wool:
Lenz Merino Socks are ideal for avoiding cold feet in the evening. Merino wool is a warming material that keeps your feet at a comfortable temperature while ensuring that they stay dry. The socks are particularly comfortable to wear and offer natural insulation. This means your feet stay warm without the need for an additional heat source. These warm socks are perfect for cozy hours on the couch or in bed.

Wear heated socks during the day as a preventative measure:
Put on Lenz Heat Socks in the morning. These socks are designed to provide continuous warmth and prevent your feet from getting cold in the first place. When set to a low heat setting, the batteries last all day and give off gentle warmth. This means you can come home in the evening with your feet already warm and don't have to warm up first. Note that heated socks should be used primarily for prevention, not to warm up feet that are already cold.

Hot water bottle or thick blanket in bed:
A hot water bottle is a tried and tested method of preventing cold feet in bed. Simply place the hot water bottle at the foot of your bed and the area around your feet will stay pleasantly warm. A well-insulated duvet will also help to retain heat better and prevent your feet from getting cold. If you wear Lenz Merino Socks or other warm socks, the heat will stay longer and you will be able to relax better.

A warm foot bath as a home remedy:
A warm foot bath can work wonders if your feet are cold. If used just before going to bed, it brings pleasant warmth and relaxes the feet. For a particularly feel-good experience, you can add a few drops of essential oil such as rosemary to the water, which also provides a pleasant scent. A foot bath is a tried and tested home remedy that not only warms the feet, but also helps to stimulate circulation before you lie down.

Daily exercise and suitable shoes:
Make sure that you wear comfortable shoes during the day that allow good blood flow to your feet and are not too tight. Tight shoes can restrict blood circulation in your feet, which can make you feel colder in the evening. A well-fitting shoe that does not constrict your feet will help prevent your feet from getting cold so quickly in the evening. If you have the opportunity to do small foot exercises during the day, such as circling your toes or stretching your feet, you will promote blood circulation and prevent cold feet.

Adjust room temperature and soil conditions:
A low room temperature can cause your feet to get cold quickly. If you have cold feet in the evening, check whether the room temperature can be set a little higher, especially in the bedroom. A soft carpet or doormat on a cold floor will also prevent your feet from standing directly on a cold surface and thus cooling down.
What should you do if your feet still remain cold in the evening?
If your feet remain cold despite these measures, it might help to wear thicker socks or try a foot massage to warm them up. Massages stimulate blood circulation and help retain warmth in the feet. A combination of a hot water bottle, Lenz Merino Socks , and an insulating duvet can also help prevent the cold and ensure your feet stay comfortably warm until bedtime.
