Cold Feet Help

[mtbpeteski]

It has seemed to stop in australia since i got new boots (2006) but when i was in japan this year my toes went very cold/numb.
I have custom footbeds and the boots have been modified to fit better.
Apart from getting the heated inserts are there any other options to try?

What type of socks do you use?

[Paul Oberin]

You are a snowboarder right, that is not as common for snowboarders, basically cold feet is a circulation problem, and Silence is most likely on the right track, what a lot of people don't realise is that blood flow not thick socks is what keeps your feet warm, if you wear thin socks and have very good fast blood flow your feet should be warm, however if you use thick socks that really slow the blood flow down you will get cold feet for sure.

mtbpeteski is selling skis in the Used Gear Forum so I assume he's a skier...

It could be a sock issue, or the boots may still be restricting blood flow somewhere.

yep im a skier.

i use thin socks. its only really my toes that have the problem.
the rest of my foot seems ok.
