fortune Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Heat the boots up before you put them on. If the boots are cold your feet won't generate enough heat to make them hot. Simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Heat the boots up before you put them on. If the boots are cold your feet won't generate enough heat to make them hot. Simple. Indeed, we put our boots in the passenger footwell whilst driving to the fields, as Tesco say "every little helps" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oliver90owner Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Leccy socks are good, but can soon overheat the feet - may be better now, but mine need a remote switch. We make our own (non-leccy) socks (look up Circular Sock Machine), so SWMBO has lots of pure wool, alpaca, etc, and socks actually fit. Getting your feet off the cold, wet ground helps, so I sit down with just heels on the ground whenever possible (clearly no good for 'standing around'). Old age is an additional impediment, especially after cardiac surgery! RAB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbrowning2 Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Pop in to your local motorbike shop you should find boot liners thermal types are about £10 and work well can be worn over or under your socks, they are lightweight flexible and breathable. Downside you need a size bigger boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Mike Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 When standing about this time of year i struggle to keep my feet warm, I've got a great pair of berghaus gortex boots that keep my feet lovely and dry but just can't seem to keep my feet warm, two pairs of socks too. what do you guys use? anything you can recommend? looked at the thermal foil and fleece lined inserts , just wonder if they will work?

norfolk dumpling Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Socks made of certain natural (orhigh%) fibres - alpaca, merino, silk. Wife knits for England and I always add a second pair of home knits. Never have cold feet. Silk mix seems to be the best but dont last as long. I would add you need good boots too - my wellies are Harkila and lace-up are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88b Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 I'm diabetic and suffer with cold feet. One of my doctors told me to rub Vicks vapour rub onto my feet, surprising how well it works. Apparently it opens up blood vessels. I'd like to get some silk socks too but can't find them locally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floating Chamber Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 Suffered for years till I realised the elastic in my socks was stopping the blood flow. HJ soft tops (non elastic) stopped this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longchalk Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Wear a wooly hat rather than a cap of baseball jobbie. Most heat lost from the body goes through the top of your head, but you feel it first in your extremities. Also take a square of carpet to keep your feet of the ground. A rubber backed car mat is ideal. And as others have said, silk inner 'under socks' beneath your woolens is good. And keep your boots dry. No matter how expensive, or waterproof they are supposed to be, I spray mine with a water repellent. I have bad circulation, and it took me years to get comfortable in the hide in winter.
