Always cold feet in winter: Possible causes and tips for permanently warm feet
Constantly cold feet are a common problem for many people in winter. Especially when temperatures drop outside, toes quickly cool down, which is often uncomfortable. In this article, you'll learn why cold hands and feet are so common in winter, and which tips and products from Lenz can help you prevent them from getting cold and actively keep your feet warm throughout the day.
Causes of cold feet
The main reason your feet are cold in winter is the body's reaction to low outside temperatures. The body tries to keep vital organs like the heart and lungs warm by directing more blood flow to the center of the body. As a result, the hands and feet receive less blood flow and cool down more quickly because they are located farther from the center of the body. This protective mechanism causes many people to feel cold more often during the cold winter months, and in particular, suffer from cold feet.
In addition, external influences such as moisture or unsuitable footwear accelerate the cooling of feet. Anyone who frequently travels in winter or spends extended periods outdoors is surely familiar with the problem: Their feet start to freeze, and it becomes difficult to warm them up quickly.
Tips for cold feet
Fortunately, there are several measures you can take to prevent permanently cold feet in winter. With a few simple tricks and the right products, you can ensure your feet stay nice and warm even in icy temperatures:
Wear heated socks as a preventative measure:
The Lenz Heat Socks are perfect for preventing cold feet from the start. If you put the heated socks on first thing in the morning at a low heat setting, they continuously emit pleasant warmth and prevent your toes from getting cold. The low setting means the batteries easily last a whole day, keeping your feet at a comfortable temperature. These socks are ideal if you spend a lot of time outdoors or stand for long periods in cold places.
Warm merino wool socks for everyday use:
Lenz Merino Socks are a natural alternative. Merino wool is a particularly warming material that insulates body temperature well and regulates moisture, keeping feet dry. These merino socks are ideal for everyday wear or shorter outdoor trips, as they are pleasantly warm and prevent feet from cooling down due to wet or cold conditions.
Foot baths as a proven home remedy for cold feet:
A warm foot bath can work wonders after a long day, warming your feet up nicely. Fill a bowl with warm water and add a little rosemary or eucalyptus, if you like. A foot bath is not only soothing for your feet, but it can also help bring them back to a comfortable temperature before bed. This way, you can enjoy the winter without bringing your icy feet into the evening.
Exercise for better blood circulation:
Sitting for long periods or not moving much can also cause your feet to get cold more quickly. Simple movements like circling your feet or wiggling your toes stimulate blood circulation and help keep your feet warm. Regularly doing small foot exercises is especially helpful when spending extended periods outdoors.
Choose well-insulated shoes for winter:
The right footwear plays a crucial role in winter to protect your feet from freezing. Make sure your shoes are adequately insulated and have a thick sole to keep the cold out. Tight shoes can restrict circulation and thus cause cold feet, so it's advisable to leave some extra room to accommodate thick socks like the Lenz Merino Socks .
Hot water bottle or thick blanket for the evening:
If you often have cold feet when you go to bed at night, a hot water bottle or cherry stone pillow at the foot of the bed, or a well-insulated duvet, can work wonders. The combination of a warm duvet and an additional heat source ensures that your feet don't get cold even while you sleep, allowing you to relax more easily.
What to do if your feet still remain cold?
If your feet keep getting cold despite all these measures, it might help to try a combination of several measures. Wearing additional layers, such as Lenz Merino Socks under everyday or work socks, provides an insulating layer and offers additional comfort. If you already wear heated socks during the day, you can be sure that your toes will stay warm all day long, significantly reducing the problem of cold feet in the evening.
