Keeping your feet warm and improving circulation is especially important if you struggle with poor blood flow. Cold feet aren’t just uncomfortable; they can signal circulation issues that increase the risk of numbness, pain, and even ulcers.

In fact, about 8.5 million Americans have peripheral artery disease (PAD), a condition that restricts blood flow to the legs and feet, making warmth and care critical.​

To keep feet warm and boost circulation:

• Wear insulated, moisture-wicking socks and well-fitting shoes.

• Avoid tight footwear that can restrict blood flow.

• Exercise regularly to promote blood flow.

• Elevate your feet when sitting and avoid crossing your legs.

• Use warm (not hot) water for foot soaks and dry feet thoroughly.

• Avoid smoking and maintain a healthy diet to support vascular health.

At American Foot & Leg Specialists, we offer advanced diagnostics and treatments to help improve foot circulation and prevent complications. From vascular assessments to personalized care plans, our team is here to support your foot health.
