Cold feet in winter shoes: How to keep your feet warm in everyday life
Who hasn't experienced this? You go outside in the winter, wearing thick winter boots, and your feet still get cold. Especially after extended periods outdoors or in cold winds, your toes often cool down quickly. Why does this happen, and how can you prevent your feet from freezing in winter shoes? Here, you'll learn the causes of cold feet in winter shoes and get tips on how to keep your feet permanently warm with Lenz Heat Socks and other measures.
Why do feet get cold in winter shoes?
Even if winter boots are well-insulated, feet are vulnerable to cold because they are positioned further away from the core of the body. In cold temperatures, the body tries to keep vital organs warm and therefore transfers less heat to the feet. The restricted movement in winter boots also contributes to feet getting cold more quickly. In addition, moisture, such as sweat, can intensify the feeling of cold, because damp feet cool down more quickly.
Another problem can be the sole of the shoe. If the sole is thin or insufficiently insulated, cold can penetrate from below and chill your feet. All of these factors make it difficult to keep your feet comfortably warm in winter shoes, especially during longer walks or outdoor activities.
Tips for preventing cold feet in winter shoes
With a few targeted measures and the right products, you can prevent your feet from freezing in winter shoes and ensure that they stay comfortably warm even on cold days.

Heated socks for active heat supply:
The Lenz Heat Socks are ideal for preventing cold feet in winter shoes. These heated socks provide a continuous heat source and can be set to various levels. Even at the lowest setting, they emit enough heat to keep feet comfortably warm all day long. The batteries last a long time at this setting, ensuring your toes don't get cold even in low temperatures.

Insulating socks as a supplement:
If you don't want to wear heated socks, insulating merino wool socks are a good alternative. They keep your feet warm and dry, reducing the risk of freezing. However, they don't provide the same active heat as Heat Socks, which are specifically designed to effectively prevent cold in your shoes.

Choosing the right shoes:
Make sure your winter shoes are well-insulated and have thick, non-slip soles. A thick sole protects your feet from the cold that can penetrate through the ground. If your shoes also offer some room for thicker socks or Lenz Heat Socks , that's ideal, as a good fit and insulation help retain heat inside the shoe.

Dry feet for more warmth:
Moisture is one of the main causes of cold feet. Make sure your feet stay dry before putting on your winter boots. Lenz Heat Socks are designed to wick moisture away, keeping feet comfortably dry. This reduces the risk of feet cooling down quickly due to moisture and cold.

Exercise during longer stays:
If you're spending a long time outdoors, it helps to wiggle your toes every now and then. Even taking small steps on the spot or circling your feet can promote blood circulation and counteract cold feet. This way, the cold is perceived less intensely, and your feet stay warmer longer.
What to do if your feet still get cold?
If your feet get cold despite wearing the Lenz Heat Socks , you can increase the heat setting slightly. During breaks or in between, it helps to relax your feet and perhaps warm them with a hot water bottle. This will keep your feet comfortably warm in your winter boots even on particularly cold days.
