I don’t know if I’m the only one who has this problem, but I notice everytime I step outside in the snow with my boots or leather shoes on, my toes soon get cold and wet.
I used to wear my runners and they used to get soaked through and through (this was a few years ago). Then I’ve got a pair of Aldo casual boots/shoes, but they don’t help either. I’ve also been wearing my leather casual (perhaps) shoes to work and I’ve been encountering the same problem.
I’ve tried wearing cotton socks to woolen socks, but nothing seems to help. It’s not like I go jump outside in a pile of snow that my toes get wet. Even if I’m walking outside in very little snow, or snow piled up on the sides I still feel that my toes get wet.
Is it because of the temperature difference inside my shoes and the temperature outside or are my shoes not the best type for this weather?
Any similar experiences and/or solutions to this problem?
It can be just ur imagination that ur toes are wet, maybe they are just cold and maybe the shoes are not water resistant and also the temperature difference thing is possible. So if u wana check what actually the problem is then wear socks and on top of them wear plastic bags for some time and go out in snow for a while and then see if ur socks get wet.
faizy, woolen socks are worse! Just last week it was snowing in the evening (6ish) and I had to walk in a little bit of snow to get to the bus stop. My feet were freezing cold and my toes were soaked through and through.
I'm just trying to think of things I can do to keep my toes warm. I think the front part of all my shoes gets wet and that is what has been causing problems.
It wasn't really a problem until now because I didn't have to cover long distance on foot or waiting at the bus stop, as all my schools were close-by. College was also fine, as I mostly got a ride and whenever I had to bus it, I only had to cover a very short distance to get home.
It's only now that I've started working (co-op) I'm beginning to realize how bad and uncomfortable it gets. Also, I've got this really bad cold and I wonder if wet toes did anything to contribute to my cold.
Reason :
Extra ordinary perspiration and when that happens the wet feet get colder and soggy.
AVOID cheap Wal-Mart plastic/rubber make.
Buy nice leather shoes from “Shoe Factory” with leather and Silicone inners. Wear Cotton/mix socks and as an extra help use Talcum Powder on your feet just before going to bed. (After washing of course) :k:
faizy, that's what I have in mind, insha'Allah, but gotta wait for a while as I've been spending a little too much money lately.
Raindance, I've never been the person who perspires too much. And no, I wasn't talking about Walmart shoes. I don't have any Walmart shoes, but I can assure you that they aren't bad as I know many people who wear'em and don't have a problem with it.
~Lay-D Honey~, I'm assuming anti-rain spray prevents moisture from getting inside the shoes?
:k:
