Hi Everyone, I expect this is common knowledge among older people but I spoke of it to some young people and they had never heard of felt insoles. If you buy a couple of pairs of wool-felt insoles and put one pair in your walking shoes or boots and another in your house slippers, they will help a great deal to keep your feet warm.
It was -5 Celsius here last night and we always sleep with the windows open. It was very cold when we got up but with two pair of wool socks on and loose work boots and loose slippers, both complete with wool insoles, my feet are toasty.
It was so cold in the house this morning that we were both wearing our good indoor toques. Wool long johns and wool sweaters completed our personal insulation. I think wool and felted wool is the way forward! Maxine
