I have discovered it. Wool socks. I have one pair that is probably three sizes too big with the heel coming closer to my calf than my ankle. I stuffed my feet into my shoes (probably stretching them out but I’ll worry about that in the spring) and wore pants long enough to hide my secret even when I’m sitting down while at the high school today. I wouldn’t have revealed my little wardrobe malfunction except I was infinitely happier with toasty warm toes today sitting in my corner of the high school. So happy in fact I stayed a whole extra five minutes at the end of the day because I wasn’t afraid if hyperthermia. Wool socks are the key.
Wow! You have been in Utah way too long!!!!! If only Iowa winters were so mild.
