Follow these tips to keep your feet warm so you can enjoy those winter races:

 

  • Wear the right socks.

Be sure to wear a good pair of breathable socks made from fabrics such as acrylic, CoolMax, or wool. Never wear cotton socks (in cold or hot weather) during your runs, as they will not wick away moisture, leaving your feet wet and at risk of frostbite.

  • Put hand warmers in your running shoes.

Some runners swear by Grabber hand warmers for really cold days. They’re easy to use: Just take them out of the packaging and put them in your sock, on top of your toes. Once your feet are warm, you can take them off so you don’t overheat.

  • Choose the right running shoes.

For cold weather, look for a running shoe for winter with as little mesh as possible, since this is where cold wind or water can pass through your feet. If you can’t avoid running in snow or winter mud, you might want to think about buying trail running shoes, which are a bit waterproof and will give you a bit more traction in the trail. the snow.
