Re: Wet cold feet that sweat

[Guest guest]

Larry,

I am wondering which style of Birks you wear? Just wondering if your

Birks are an all-enclosed style and could the leather around them be

causing your feet to sweat? Have you tried other shoes, like maybe

some New Balance ones that have some mesh and aren't all leather?

Gretchen:

My Birks are Boston clogs with felt uppers. Before they were

discontinued, my shoes were New Balance 901. I like the idea of mesh.

I will look at the New Balance catalog and hope they offer mesh in a

deep instep last.

Thanks for the idea.

I often wonder if the reason my feet get cold is due to sweat. I am never

quite sure if the sensation I am feeling when they feel cold is sweat or

just cold skin (if that makes sense) but I do notice that my socks sometimes

feel damp (but I thought this was normal). My mother used to always tell me

to wear Keds with socks otherwise they stank. I wear birks and think it is

one of the things that helps them mold faster in the summer - warm weather

and a bit of perspiration from the feet - my winter birks just do not have

the same form to them.

All the best from grey London,
