(Works well in steel toe boots too....talk about cold feet!)
The insoles of my Lake winter boots looks like that stuff.

I suffer from toe swelling in winter that could be Chilblains, but I haven't had a formal diagnosis. I suspect wearing too many socks, especially knee highs, were making things worse by cutting off my circulation. It hasn't been cold enough this year for this issue to flair, so I haven't been able to test my new theory. I got the Lakes in a larger size, and I'm going to be wearing them with only one sock. I've also gotten a few pairs of tights, thinking maybe the issue was cold legs and butt. Anyway, it's weird because my legs and feet don't feel as cold as other people's seem to on the bike, but there's definitely a reaction later.
