Ask HN: How to keep feet warm and healthy when sitting?

1 points by oxplot ↗ HN
As a coder, I sit for long hours and especially in winter, I find it hard to keep my feet warm. Getting up and moving around periodically helps a little but usually after 10 mins, it's back to its worst condition. I've read about feet warmers/massagers and heating pads, what do HN readers use to keep their feet comfortable?

What kind of socks do you wear?

I've tried all kinds, from plain thick cotton to wool and even wrapped my feet in emergency blanket.

I got nothin' then! I think my socks are only 60% wool, and they never bother me. Though my hands are frequently cold to the touch and they don't make me feel chilly at all, so maybe it's a sensitivity thing?
