Circulation and warmth

Cold feet and cold hands: what helps day to day

Cold extremities are common, uncomfortable and rarely discussed. Small, practical changes make a noticeable difference.

Feet and hands are the first places the body limits blood flow when it prioritises the core. That is normal — but for many people it is a daily nuisance, especially in the evening and through the colder half of the year.

What people describe

  • Feet that stay cold even indoors
  • Cold fingers while reading or working at a desk
  • Difficulty falling asleep because of cold feet
  • Feet that warm up slowly after being outdoors

ReflexWear® with Celliant®

Socks, knee-highs and gloves knitted with Celliant® textile technology, developed for people who often experience cold feet and cold hands — soft and non-binding, not compression.

Practical things that help

Insulate, don't constrict

A tight sock can work against you. Warmth comes from a soft, lofty knit with room around the toes.

Choose the right fibre

Merino wool regulates temperature; Celliant® blends are used specifically in products developed for warmth.

Keep moving

Short, regular movement through the day does more for warmth than one long session.

Dedicated bed socks

A separate, clean, loose pair for sleeping keeps feet warm without pressure.

Common questions

What is Celliant®?

A textile technology in which mineral-based fibres are embedded in the yarn. Claims about it are based on the technology supplier's documentation and applicable approvals.

Is this the same as compression?

No. ReflexWear® is a soft, non-binding knit. Compression products apply graduated pressure and serve a different purpose.

When should I speak to a professional?

If cold feet are new, one-sided, painful, or accompanied by colour changes or numbness, contact a healthcare professional.
