If your feet and hands get cold in chillier conditions the common go-to is \u201cthick socks, shoe covers or winter boots and cozy gloves.\u201d While these can help, often the best bet for keeping your extremities warm is keeping your core even warmer. A good base layer &#8211; especially a wool one &#8211; is your best friend. Another key for your feet: yes, thick socks (preferably wool again!) but not TOO thick. Let your toes have some room, otherwise you\u2019re restricting blood flow, and blood flow is what\u2019s keeping your feet warm!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"840\" height=\"1265\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.iceman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20141108-0093--scaled.jpg?resize=840%2C1265&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-545\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.iceman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20141108-0093--scaled.jpg?w=1700&amp;ssl=1 1700w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.iceman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20141108-0093--scaled.jpg?resize=199%2C300&amp;ssl=1 199w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.iceman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20141108-0093--scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C1156&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.iceman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20141108-0093--scaled.jpg?resize=1020%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1020w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.iceman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20141108-0093--scaled.jpg?resize=1360%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1360w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.iceman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20141108-0093--scaled.jpg?resize=1200%2C1807&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption>Iceman Cometh, 25th anniversary\r\rPhotos by John L.
