During the cold, wet, snowy, winter season it’s important to try and stay warm and comfortable. We do this in all kinds of ways, mostly by staying inside. I love to curl up in a toasty blanket on the sofa or in the bed, with a cup of something warm to drink, a book to read, and a dog to cuddle up with.
But unfortunately, even on the coldest days, I have to go outside. Sometimes it’s just a quick trip out the door to take the dogs for a walk—even they don’t want to stay out too long in the cold. Other times it’s a full day outside when I’m taking care of the other animals and running errands.
Like most people, I don’t like getting cold while I’m outside so being prepared and wearing the proper clothing is key. A warm coat and gloves are a necessity, and a hat keeps body heat from escaping. One of the most essential parts of a warm winter outfit is proper footwear.
Winter shoes or boots should be sturdy and have a grippy sole to prevent slipping on snowy, icy ground or sidewalks. Ideally, they should keep your feet warm and comfortable. But, there’s a simple trick for warm toes that doesn’t require expensive boots or socks and certainly not those silly hand and foot warmers. I’ve spent a lot of money on warm socks over the years, only to be disappointed by cold feet, so I was thrilled to find this handy trick that definitely won’t break the bank.
Watch the video below for this quick DIY foot warmer — you can buy everything you need at the dollar store, and in minutes you’ll have foot warmers. An avid outdoorsman has tested these and swears by their effectiveness.
