We can’t guarantee every Frostie will have such positive experiences with Heat Holders®, but the majority who tried them would recommend that fellow Raynaud’s sufferers give them a try. Special Offer for Raynaud’s Members Blue skin is often the symptom, and once you begin to warm up, the skin can become red with a tingling sensation. The disease creates a varying response in different people. Some have a mild type of problem whereas others may need treatment due to the severity of the condition. The disease usually isn’t disabling , yet it can limit your quality of life. In some cases, tissue damage, skin sores and gangrene are the result, which can cause pain and require surgery to remove. Tips for Managing Raynaud’s Disease Do not smoke, limit alcohol and caffeine consumption and avoid secondhand smoke , which can cause blood vessels to constrict. Individuals with Raynaud's in their feet may experience difficulty in maintaining adequate blood flow to their toes, leading to cold feet and increased discomfort. It is important to wear insulated and warm footwear to protect the feet from extreme temperatures. Additionally, using heated insoles or foot warmers can provide extra warmth and improve blood circulation.

Fingerless gloves are also great if you want to maintain full finger dexterity and feeling in your fingertips. This is a particularly practical way of managing your Raynaud's symptoms indoors, whether working at a desk or a till, on the phones, or in a classroom. With fingerless gloves, you can continue to enjoy full use and feeling of your fingers without fully exposing your hands to the elements. Why not give the Raynaud's Disease Fingerless Silver Gloves a try!

Comfortable Construction for All-Day Wear

Insulation: Look for shoes with good insulation properties to keep your feet warm. Shoes made from materials like leather or synthetic materials with insulation layers can provide the necessary warmth.

Editor's Verdict:When I'm sitting around the house, sometimes I'd rather have a blast of cosy warmth to my feet instead of turning on the heating (especially with the cost of heating these days!). That's why I love the Beurer FW20 Cosy Taupe Electric Foot Warmer, which provides an efficient way to keep you or your loves ones cosy, with a soft fleece lining and an automatic switch-off after 90 minutes. There’s a heated insole product we recently tested by Digitsole that’s in the trendy category of smart wearables. That’s because you regulate the insoles through an app on your cell phone, which is handy considering it’s awkward to disrobe our feet in public to turn a heated insole on/off or up/down. Those of us who’ve juggled disposable toe warmer in our shoes, dealt with the changing environmental temperatures throughout the day, and arrived at a location where you need to stop in the restroom to remove them before a meeting or a meal can understand the beauty of this concept! Waterproofing: Consider waterproof or water-resistant shoes to protect your feet from moisture. Wet feet can lead to further cooling and discomfort, so keeping them dry is essential. If you're worried that constantly wearing gloves will begin to feel unhygienic, then the Raynaud's Disease Compression Warming Copper Gloves could be just the thing for you. They utilise copper in the fabric to provide reliable heat retention, while also reducing bacteria.

6. Thermal Clothing

Although Dr. Rallapalli says that mittens are warmer and therefore more helpful than gloves, wearing mittens isn’t always practical if you’re working, using your phone or doing an activity that requires the dexterity of your fingers. Fingerless gloves may be a good compromise, as they still cover much of your hands without preventing you from doing necessary tasks. Editor's Verdict:Personally, these are my favourite winter gloves, as they're cosy and warm, without being too bulky to get on with your day. I use them for driving before the car warms up on winter mornings, and for manipulating my dog leads to keep those pups on the path! Remember, managing Raynaud's is a multi-faceted approach that includes lifestyle modifications, proper clothing, and self-care practices. By understanding the disease and taking proactive steps, individuals with Raynaud's can minimize symptoms and improve their quality of life. The Importance of Proper Footwear for Raynaud's Sufferers When it’s cold outside, remember to wear layers for insulation. Warm shoes, a hat and gloves are a necessity.

The Warming Copper Gloves are particularly good for anybody who also suffers from arthritis, as they help to reduce inflammation of the hands associated with both Raynaud's and arthritis. The gloves feature thermal-regulating properties to increase blood flow, which in turn relieves some of the pain that can arise with both conditions. Why Use Fingerless Gloves? Editor's Verdict:These gloves are the thinner, more water-resistant cousin to the Ejendals 295 Gloves above, and are great if you want to get a bit more dexterity at the expense of a little bit of thermal lining. They're still great for keeping your hands warm on everything but the coldest days, and our team particularly love them for a cycle commute on a wet and windy London day! As with gloves, it’s best to have a portfolio of boot options available for different weather conditions, daily activities, time exposure outdoors, and the need to look business-like or fashionable. The warmest boots I own are fur with good insulated lining. Some were expensive (Technica brand – they also make ski equipment). But I’ve also had success with less expensive fur boots from Bearpaw®. Shearling-lined boots, like those from Bearpaw®, UGG® and La Canadienne also offer excellent warmth and comfort. In colder months, many Raynaud’s sufferers prefer to abandon shoes for the extra coverage of boots. My ankles don’t see the light of day from October through March – or longer, pending the results of Groundhog Day and the timing of spring weather.Our Customers Say: "These gloves have proved useful when out in the cold weather recently. After several hours exposed to low temperatures, they maintained the heat!"– Alan

Limit stress levels, exercise regularly and avoid going from hot to cold environments to help control Raynaud's disease.
