Sole purpose to keep feet comfy

SWOLLEN feet are so often associated with warmer weather – yet they can make their presence felt in the winter, too. Chilblains, for instance, occur when feet are exposed to the cold and are then warmed quickly indoors leaving them tender and tingly.

It’s a real problem for so many of us as feet can suffer inside solid winter shoes and boots. However, there is an answer.

Cosyfeet is the name, a whole collection of winter shoes and boots designed to gently comfort swollen feet. One step ahead is the CosyTex range of waterproof footwear for both men and women.

At their heart is a membrane that is breathable and windproof as well as waterproof, keeping feet warm and dry and protected from the elements.

For men, there’s the Livingston­e boot and Stanley shoe. For women, the Moose boot and Minnie shoe – although if you need something for more challengin­g conditions, there are the high-performanc­e Moose and Minnie with a self-clearing tread that works well in mud, ice and snow.

Also new this winter are two contempora­ry boot styles for women – both with attractive design and trendy colours so you wouldn’t know that they are specially designed to fit swollen feet. Megan is made from softly-textured leather and has a faux fur lining to keep feet warm while Markle has a stretchy panel to take the pressure off bunions and swelling.

Their laces can be adjusted to fit swelling and they have a removable footbed so you can wear your own orthotic.

For the ultimate in cosy comfort, team them with Cosyfeet extra roomy thermal socks.

Swollen feet don’t simply disappear when you come in from the cold – what you need is cosy slippers with that extra touch.

Sleepy, a soft yet supportive slipper with a warm pile lining, is designed to keep the coldest feet warm.

The touch-fastening strap adjusts to fit swollen feet while the sumptuousl­y soft, padded collar gives added comfort.

For men, there’s Rudolph with a fleeced, faux fur lining that feels beautifull­y soft and warm, a godsend if your feet feel the cold.

Embracing the trend for all things Scandi, Cosyfeet has developed a range of Scandinavi­an-inspired wool slippers for swollen feet.

They’re made on a foot-shaped last from pure wool so they’re exceptiona­lly warm and comfy.

Thanks to their unique constructi­on, they’re virtually seam-free so they’re an ideal choice for people with diabetes or very sensitive feet and toes.

There’s Bjorn for men while women can choose from Anna and Frieda.

Cosyfeet footwear is smart and stylish yet at its core is a product created to help those with problem feet – the range is recommende­d by more than 11,000 healthcare profession­als and Cosyfeet is a member of the Healthy Footwear Guide.

There’s a no-quibble money-back guarantee, so if you’re not satisfied with a product, for any reason, at any time, you can return it for an exchange or refund.
