Cold Feet in Winter: Simple Ways to Stay Warm

Marble and tile floors make Pakistani homes beautiful in summer — and freezing in winter. Cold feet keep many people awake at night.

Simple ways to warm cold feet

• Layer up: wool socks and closed slippers indoors; a rug where you sit.
• Keep moving: a short walk or toe wiggles get blood moving.
• An electric foot warmer: the 6-level foot warmer with timer is a soft boot for both feet.
• At the office: a USB foot heating pad under the desk.
• A warm bed: pre-warm it with an electric under blanket or a hot water bag — then remove the bag before sleeping.

Important for diabetes

People with diabetes may not feel heat properly in the feet and can get burns without noticing. Use foot warmers only on low, check your feet every day, and ask your doctor first. Never put a hot water bag directly on numb feet.

See a doctor if

• Feet are always cold, pale or blue, even indoors.
• You have numbness, sores that do not heal or colour changes.
• Cold feet come with pain when walking.
