Whilst sitting on an underheated train on the morning commute I realized my feet were cold - more specifically the toes.
Toe cozies are similar to the toe portion of a sock (tip of toe to the ball of the foot) but of a thin, stretchy, warm material - perhaps thinsulate. There is an elastic strap that
slips over your ankle to secure the cozy in place. Cozies are thin enough to be worn under your regular socks/stockings. Or they can be worn over the socks in case you need to take them off later.
(?) THis very thing

Yes I know there are similar foot warmers out there but I would like to think the strap and being able to wear them over or under regular socks/stockings isn't as baked. |
|
| |
As one who suffered from extreme coldness of the everything during my years as a bus driver, I entirely sympathise. Perhaps this croissant will warm your tiny toes. |
|
| |
Baked (or toasted) I'm afraid. You can get a neoprene version which does just as you describe for wearing when you're skiing. See link. My wife swears by them. |
|
| |
and when you take them off, you can slip the warm toe cozy onto your mug of tea and keep that warm (tea cozy)perhaps not. nice one blue..croissant |
|
| |
Despite the fact that these are worthy items, I think they're hilarious looking. Couldn't you just cut off the end of a sock? |
|
| |
I could have used these this morning. Was minus 30 degrees Celcius!! It was a miracle that my toes and the rest of me arrived in one albeit cold piece. |
|
| |
Two pairs of socks don't work and I'm allergic to wool. |
|
| |
Heck I'll just move to a warmer climate. I've spent a quarter of my life in winter. Now that is depressing. |
|
| |
I've spent almost all my life in summer. That's depressing too. |
|
| |
Why not wear boots? This is kind of the stock in trade for them... |
|
| |
are you allergic to llama wool? blue. link to follow |
|
| |
Seems like the elastic strap would cut off circulation, making your toes colder rather than warmer. |
|
| |
po: Never tried llama wool. Llamas even on the socks how cute!
mrthingy: It wouldn't be a tight elastic...just enough to keep the cozies from "riding up"on your foot. |
|
| |
women know about elastic, mrthingy - just enough speaks volumes - go back to sleep dear. |
|

pats mrthingy on the top of his head and gives him a sugar lump. |
