Life
Whether you're walking to class, on the job, or trying to relax at home, there's nothing worse than having cold toes. Not only are they uncomfortable, but they can also be distracting. When socks just won't cut it, there are the best toe warmers, which will keep them nice and toasty by adding a base layer of protection.
Of course, there are different solutions for different type of situations. If your toes are freezing throughout the day, wool insoles or thermal socks will probably be your best bet. If they primarily bother you when you're out on a run or taking a walk, you might want to consider temporary heat packs or shoe covers. Finally, if you like to keep the heating bill low, but don't like the shivers that come with it, we recommend you check out a heating pad for when you're unwinding at home. (Many are even designed to share between two people. Two sets of feet = bonus body heat.)
Of course, with winter approaching, keeping every body part warm — even your littlest ones — is more important than ever. Whether you need them for skiing, commuting, or keeping snug inside a rented cabin, these toe warmers will keep you nice and toasty all season long.

These Booties That Slip Over Your Toes
Meister Thermal Neoprene Toe Warmer Booties, $8, Amazon
These toe booties slide right over your feet to act as a base layer before you put on socks. They're insulated with 2.5 millimeters of thermal neoprene to keep the heat in, no matter how cold it is outside. And, since they're so thin, they won't add any bulk to your shoe (you might even forget that you're wearing them). One Amazon reviewer said they even stand up to minus 20 degrees inside their running shoes.

These Thermal Socks That Trap Warm Air
Heat Holders Thermal Socks, $16, Amazon
A pair of these thermal socks keep the warm air close to your feet to prevent you from getting cold all day long. In fact, with a thermal grade of 2.34, they're about seven times warmer than cotton socks. They're also available in nearly 20 cute designs. And, best of all, they're machine-washable and reportedly maintain their warming ability after years of use.

They're also odorless and can be used to keep your hands and other body parts warm. Bring them with you skiing, hiking, and camping to act as your own portable heater.
