Cold feet

[gusbus432]

I'm currently in the lodge for dangerously cold feet. my homie got frost bite a few weeks ago and I don't wanna do that. I've tried everything, loosening boots, thin socks and thick socks, everything. Any other ideas on how to not get ice block toes?

your boots fit improperly, or you have circulation issues.

Circulation problems run in my family, the boots are heat molded and seem to fit pretty well

If it’s really cold enough, the only thing that will help is heated insoles/ liners homie. Fork over the cash if it’s really that cold

Get boot heaters, they snap onto the back of your boot and heat your liners.

Are the socks you're wearing a pair of thin merino wool ski specific socks (SmartWool, DarnTough, etc.)? Whatever you do avoid anything thick that will just slow down circulation and cause sweating. Also, I know this is pretty obvious but after a ski day, thoroughly dry out your liners and store them in a warm environment.

With that out of the way it could be an issue with fit. Are you cranking the buckles down all the way?

When it gets really damn cold usually there's no way around it as boot heaters or heated socks can save the day big time.

Heated socks or footbeds. Heated footbeds are actually pretty easy to install yourself. Look after your feet. I got some frostbite over New Years in some pretty cold weather and now I’ve had to watch my feet and slowly let them heal the nerve damage. The left foot gets cold and numb easily. Sucks. So prevent that damage. Slowly healing though

If it is not an issue with how the boot fits, I would say you need to get boots that have a better insulated liner

Thanks yall. Gonna find some better socks maybe do the heated stuff. It was -15F

I've had messed up feet for a while. Got frostbite and now the circulation in them is terrible. Bright white toes after even a few hours of skiing. I've had multiple sets of bootwarmers, but I've found that the heated socks work the best, especially since the block doesn't stick out in an annoying way on your boots. Hope this helps!
