Hunter Fleece Welly Socks inside Your Boots
Whether we like it or not, the approach of the Christmas holidays is a stark reminder to those of us in the northern hemisphere that winter is almost upon us. With the season come plenty of cold temperatures, snow or sleet, and icy roads and pavements. If you're someone who frequently walks outdoors, wintertime can be an unwelcome guest. But if you know how to dress, you can keep yourself warm even on the harshest of winter days. Dressing for winter weather is not difficult, it's just different.
Perspiration is designed to release heat from the body and keep a constant core temperature of 37°C. Believe it or not, the human body still perspires even when the air temperature dips below freezing. It may be indistinguishable, but it does occur. That same perspiration your body uses to regulate temperature is what makes you feel cold during the winter.
You can fight the perspiration, and the cold feeling it produces, by dressing in layers. It works because the layer closest to the skin absorbs perspiration while subsequent layers hold in body heat and cause the perspiration to evaporate. Without the layers, the single material touching the skin absorbs perspiration which is not easily evaporated by the cold air. And it is the perspiration remaining in contact with the skin makes us feel cold.
Even with boats, layers are essential. A pair of knee-high rubber boots for example, will be much warmer if you wear an extra pair of socks. Hunter Fleece Welly Socks are great for this type of thing. Again, your regular socks will absorb the perspiration while the fleece socks retain the heat and keep your feet warm. You need to realize however, that in order to achieve this you must purchase boots one or two sizes bigger than your normal shoes. Boots in the same size as your regular shoes will not allow the extra layer of socks and your feet will be prone to feeling cold.
One last thing about cold feet during the winter: external moisture is just as big an enemy as internal perspiration. If you walk through the snow or sleet in a pair of boots that are not waterproof, they might possibly soak through and leave your feet cold and wet. But if you keep your feet dry, you also keep them warm.
With winter fast approaching and Christmas on the doorstep, Hunter Fleece Welly Socks make a great gift idea for friends or loved ones. They even make a great gift for yourself if you're prone to cold feet. Just remember, the key to winter dressing is layers. If you remember that principle you'll be fine.
