| | Cure for cold toes when it's freezing
This morning I added something new to my cold-weather arsenal. Hopefully all
of us who are silly enough to ride when it's below (or even close to)
freezing use cold-weather booties over our shoes. But while booties make the
ride survivable, you'll still have that wonderful feeling in the shower as
you thaw out, where your toes half-itch and half-hurt, and look a color of
purple that you didn't find in your box of crayolas growing up. So what's my
no-longer-secret for keeping my toes comfy? Simple. Put a pair of Kucharik
toe warmers (that's what I use, but there are many other brands that work
similarly) over the front of your shoes, and then the booties over those. I
didn't know it would actually work, it just seemed like something to try.
It worked GREAT! No numbness, no itching, no pain. Not even that ugly purple
color in the shower.
