T. asks: ‘What can i do to keep my feet warm in winter. I | wear the heaviest stockings possible mt still my feet trouble me a great deal.” You probably are wearing stockings that are ttoo heavy. This has.a tend- ency to make the feet perspire, which in turn soon causes discomfort, and intense feeling of cold. Try lighter and looser stockings.
