Sorry you missed the sock test (which by the way did not perform to expectations). You might want to try out Foothuggers mentioned in the above comment. Using a heated mattress pad may also help warm up your body at night in general. We’ve also heard from members that taking a warm bath or soaking your feet before bed helps to warm them prior to bedtime and help you get to sleep.

Finally, you might ask your doctor for a topical treatment. Nifedipine (a calcium channel blocker drug) comes in a topical form. Also, there are nitric oxide-based gels and oinments that may help.

I just ran across this and know I may be too late for your study, but decided to send a note anyway. I have had Raynaud’s for about 25 years. I have learned to deal with it, but have a particular problem with my feet being cold to the bone when I am trying to sleep. I can not go to sleep until I get my feet warm and will many nights wake from a dead sleep due to ice cold feet. I would love to find a solution to this.

Thanks for the positive feedback on the site – glad you found us!

To Anita’s question about seams, you might want to checkout the Foothugger socks in the Sponsor section of the site – they are cushy, warm Polartec without seams on the toe. As for the new socks we’re testing, they do have a thin toe seam. Testing is still in progress, so stay tuned to see if they are a winner!

Do the socks have toe seams? Raynauds is the diagnosis I recently received after 1 1/2 years of painful toes. I have same symptoms as others but I absolutely cannot stand the sock’s seams rubbing across the tops of my toes. If those bulky, thready, seams are eliminated in some fashion, then, sure, I’m willing to test the socks when you put a call out for another group of testers.

I’ve always been an avid hunter. About a year ago I have had trouble with my toes and fingers that has gotten worse. Thought it was from frost bite years ago. While Found out last year I had Raynauds. I also have alapecia and was told people that have alepecia are more prone to raynauds. Anyways I’d love to try any socks or gloves to continue my love of hunting. Also at work we wear steel toed boots that doesn’t help any. Toe warmers are ok but there has to be more out there. Would be happy to test any item or hear from others what really works. hanks Tom

I have unknowlingly been suffering from raynaud’s for as long as i can remember but was only diagnosed last year as my symptoms became much worse. Even more recently the problems with my feet coldness/numbness/and pain have become unbearable. i have been searching for the perfect pair of heated socks and have been making due with toe warmers ( the kind for skiing ). But I would love to be able to help with testing your product.
