I have raynauds syndrome and hyperhidrosis, as a result I'm terrified of inappropriate clothing on my feet and hands.
On a lovely 24°C day I made the mistake of wearing crocs to work without socks. When I got home and took my crocs off my feet were grey and the skin was already starting to slough off. I'd given myself trench foot in a single shift. And it's not like I was working in a muddy field. I'm an IT teacher.
It was 38°C last week and I was wearing short shorts, a wife beater, a sun hat .... And snow boots, because I like the skin on my feet and want it to stay there.
We don't get harsh winter's here in Australia (we get nippy winter's, mostly because we suck at insulating our houses here for some reason) so I've never thought twice about making sure my legs and arms are protected from anything other than sun exposure. If my legs are cold, oh well, their cool temperature doesn't really seem to effect the temperature of the rest of my body. But core, head, feet and hands are my big concerns!
