Always cold?
Some people freeze at the toes, others at the fingers, and still others can’t think straight because their head is ice cold. If you know your cold type, you can counteract it specifically.
Cold feet
Most common type
Cold feet are usually caused by poor peripheral circulation—the blood pulls back into the body’s core and lets the extremities cool down. People with low blood pressure, sedentary jobs, or iron deficiency are particularly affected. Statistically, women suffer from it more often than men.
RECOMMENDED PRODUCT
Slippers & House Shoes
Cold toes
A slipper with a closed, softly padded toe box keeps the forefoot compact and protects the sensitive tips of the toes especially effectively.
Cold heel
A deep slipper collar with a high heel counter encloses the heel bone all around—ideal, since the heel has little tissue of its own to store warmth.
Cold hands
Circulation type
Cold hands also signal that the body is prioritizing warmth and throttling the fingers first. Causes can include stress, Raynaud’s syndrome, or simply too little movement. Cool fingers impair fine motor skills and concentration—and are especially common in offices and home offices.
RECOMMENDED PRODUCT
Gloves & Finger Gloves
Mittens unfortunately don’t help much when typing—this is where thinner knit or fleece finger gloves shine, stimulating circulation without restricting mobility. For outdoors, insulated leather or membrane gloves are ideal, keeping moisture out while providing insulation.
Cold head
Heat-loss type
In winter, the body loses a disproportionately large amount of heat through an uncovered head—the scalp is richly supplied with blood and releases warmth directly into the environment. People with thin or short hair, as well as those who are bald, feel this effect particularly strongly. The result can be headaches, concentration problems, and a general chill that is hard to compensate for with body heat alone.
RECOMMENDED PRODUCT
Beanie
A well-fitting beanie made of merino wool or double-layer fleece drastically reduces heat loss from the head—often that alone is enough to make the whole body feel significantly warmer. Beanies that also cover the ears are particularly effective, since ears also cool down quickly and are poorly supplied with blood.
Cold shoulders
Draft type
Cold shoulders often result from drafts or insufficient insulation in the neck-shoulder area—a problem that occurs especially in home offices, near poorly insulated windows, or during long sitting phases. Tension and a stiff feeling in the neck are typical accompanying symptoms.
RECOMMENDED PRODUCT
Poncho
A poncho covers shoulders, neck, and back at the same time without restricting arm mobility—ideal for throwing on at the desk or on the couch. Models made of wool felt or thick knit insulate especially well and create a windproof layer exactly where jackets often leave a gap: around the shoulder area.
Whether cold feet, clammy hands, a shivery head, or tense shoulders—feeling cold has many faces. If you know your personal cold type, you can deliberately create warmth and get through the cold season with the right companions. Sometimes it doesn’t take much: a warm pair of slippers, a good beanie, cozy gloves, or a warming poncho—and suddenly the cold season feels a whole lot more comfortable.
