This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Get rid of the nylon and polyester based socks and get some good ole cotton or wool.

It depends and you'll have to consult a doctor to be 100% sure.

For the terminally online like myself, lack of exercise and sendantary life style causes bad circulation. For other people, it could be bad eating habits. For some still, it could be a side effect of another health condition or medication. And each of these situations requires different approaches to improve the circulation.

Well I move enough and eat healthy so that's it

That's a lie. People with cold feet know, you put socks on then your feet are still cold.

Thinner/lighter socks, I guess?

Moisten your socks until you reach your desired temperature.

Amputate your feet

Like with a blanket in bed when you just leave one leg out. You have to cut a hole in the end so you can leave a toe hanging out of your socks

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

wait... you're not just supposed to wear those in "naturally"?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

exactly, if it doesn't have a hole for the big toe it means you didn't wear them more than 4 times

Unironically, roll them down just over the heel

Sockless toes. Like 10 mini socks for your toes.

Wool socks are better.

Merino is good for the average man, more affordable. Darn Tough Merino wool socks have a lifetime warranty. Alpaca & buffalo wool are some of the absolute best. I go buffalo.

What pisses me off is I have like, circulation isn't super great? Or whatever? So my feet will be cold but also somehow sweat and make the socks damp, like, gee thanks body...

Chop the fuckers off, show them who's boss

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

put on socks and open a window

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's below freezing out there, not happening.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

doesn't have to be for long, just as long as it's making the situation better

Underfloor heating.

[–] Hikermick 3 points 1 month ago

Try neoprene liners. They're not expensive so it's worth a try. It's possible your feet get too warm and sweat which makes them cold and clammy. Synthetic liners wick the moisture away. Works in bed also

Jumping jacks, your feet are cold bc of lack of blood flow

Me but my whole ducking body I hate being sick

[–] Matriks404 2 points 1 month ago

Put them on top of the computer tower, at least a bit.

You can ether go multilayer or multi-sock..

I go multi-sock for cozyness at home and multilayer outside.
