How do you keep your feet warm when sitting still?

How do you keep your feet and legs warm when sitting still for ages at a desk or table?

I work at a lovely old wooden desk (similar to the picture, but nicer ) so I really don't want to put a strong heater near it, as I worry the heat might damage it. I don't want a fan heater as the floor is currently bare concrete and I don't want to blow dust around.

I'm considering a small, oil-filled electric radiator, a heat pad on the floor to put my feet on it, or a heated boot thing.

Please help me choose. What are the pros and cons?

Would a hot water bottle not do the job?

I make sure there is carpet / rug underneath my desk & wear slippers.

Slipper socks.

Concrete is cold. I would need a rug, or carpet square and socks!

Hottie bottie.

Slippers currently. Previously I had a little stool thing so my feet were off the ground. Makes a massive difference.

Sheepskin slippers

I have reynauds so it's very very hard
Basically the thing that works best though is the plug in heater (which they make look like a pretend fire, that kind) and the heat blows out the bottom where your feet are. So good for feet
Hot water bottles often aren't strong enough for my feet. Nice for my body but not really for my feet

I've got a pair of these bad boys aura que slippers that I wear with these socks bridgedale.

Celtic boots (or any UGG style genuine sheepskin boots, but the Celtic knee highs are amazing & made in the UK). That and moving as much as possible. I have Reynauds and very poor circulation, which I need to try and make better by moving more generally..but meanwhile I have three pairs of the Celtics & am barely out of them in winter. Definitely also get a rug or floor covering of some sort, concrete won’t be helping!

Socks and fluffy slippers.
My feet are never cold but my hands get freezing - I'm considering fingerless gloves..

The heated boot thing ☺️

Heat pad that goes on the floor-bit like underfloor heating and is my preferred method with a pair of thick socks. I find the heater blows my papers or burns my feet and a hot water bottle goes cold too quickly. I also have a pair of UGG boots which are a good second best.

My feet rest on a box and I wear thick fluffy socks.

Sheepskin lined moccasins. 🥰

I also have a heated throw and a heated pad for my back (all plug in) I don't always need these, but my feet are always cold whatever the weather and the foot heat mat was a game changer for me!

Sheepskin boots

Electric throw over your legs and feet too!

Uggs

The rubber sole stops the cold creeping up, the sheepskin keeps feet warm

Also get up and move around a bit every hour

Moving is the most important thing to keep circulation going. Doing calf stretches whilst seated every now and then also helps pump the blood around (some call the calf muscles the “second heart” for their ability to help pump blood through the body )

Thick slippers. Dogs. Heated electric blanket.

But also make sure you’re not in a draft and that you are sitting on top of a rug or carpet.

Ugg boots, SO warm and cozy!

I think I would forget I had the boot on and fall over when I tried to get up!

Why don't you at least have a rug underneath?

I had fur lined boots at one point, but hot water bottles otherwise if at home.

Insulation. Bare concrete will be the main reason your feet are cold.

Also, staying hydrated. My feet are more sensitive to the cold when I'm dehydrated.

Bedsocks and slippers.
