1 - embrocate tops of feet using thick Aquaphor creme/ointment. (Actually, in cold weather, I do this all over, not just feet.)
2 - put on wicking socks (thin CoolMax WrightSocks)
3 - put on thick wool socks (el cheapo from SAMS)
4 - put on SIDI road shoes, leaving them as loose around the toes as possible (air space is your friend)
5 - pull on Performance neoprene booties
6 - pull on fabric shoe covers
That is all. Haven't had cold feet in so long, I haven't given it a second thought.
Do you wear the same size shoe or size up (like MAx). I have a hard time thinking you can get good circulation wearing 2 socks and same size shoe. I have higher than normal arches so this might affect my circulation more than you. I size up and wear 2 socks. A lot warmer. I am thinking shoe covers though.
Also what's the purpose for embrocating the ointment. I've never heard of this outside of Catholic confirmation
