mgsontour Posted October 20, 2022 Report Share Posted October 20, 2022 Hi all As with a few people I suffer from cold feet, especially at an evening. I have good wellies and boots and socks etc for daytime but can't seem to find slippers. . . . . . any wide-ish fitting cosy recommendations please lads? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moondoggy Posted October 21, 2022 Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 (edited) I have used these https://www.justsheepskin.com/details.aspx?pid=44849&colour=chestnut as I usually have very cold feet (side effect of blood pressure medication). I also have very wide feet. They are toasty warm, but expensive. I’d sooner spend a bit and have warm tootsies. Can often find them cheaper searching online.

henry d Posted October 21, 2022 Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 Got fed up with rubbish slippers that either fell apart or got dirty and smelly quickly so I looked for something different. Originally l looked at expensive sheepskin ones but eventually found Glerups which are felt upper and leather soled but there are other styles and types. They are well into their 3rd year and are looking good and not smelly. Apparently the sheep felt stops the smell, they need to be vacuumed occasionally to remove dust etc and are warm enough but not roasting hot. Expensive, yes but I wear them a lot and would have paid the same amount for several pairs of rubbish slippers that wouldn't have lasted.

Definitely the 'big slipper'. He does go on to say that each family member can have one. On youtube search for the big slipper billy connolly, I won't post a link on here as the video contains profanity. Watch from 4 minutes onwards if you want a quick laugh re the slipper, or the whole sketches for the full hit. 3 hours ago, Good shot? said: To be used in conjunction with Billy Connolly Incontinence Pants.

bruno22rf Posted October 21, 2022 Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 (edited) If you have a power bank then electric socks are around £20, if your feet are cold then putting a thick layer of anything is not actually going to heat them up - heated socks will. Power banks are around £15. Edited October 21, 2022 by bruno22rf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peck Posted October 21, 2022 Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 Dont know how old you are but cold feet in older people can be a sign of poor circulation, maybe worth asking your doc for some advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be related to low blood pressure because of doctors obsession with getting pressure as low as they set their guidelines at - possibly to help keep them busy. If my BP gets as low as they recommend I get foot, leg and hand cramps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
