Answers: they get cold because of the cold weather ...when i shower they get red

Sounds like you do not have very good circulation to your feet. Are you sure they are red because of being in the shower or from standing in one place for a long period of time? I wear slippers or wool socks almost all the time in the winter, keep them elevated when you are sitting down, just don't let them rest on the floor, put them up on the couch or an ottoman, this will help the circulation.

you can put on a pair of socks or booties on your feet.
Use water that is not too hot for the shower (meaning that the room is so steamy you are ready to pass out)
Also put on lubriderm, cocoa butter or aquaphor on your feet before you place the socks on!

Do what i do when my feet get cold - sit on them :D it always works for me!

Warm up your cold feet with cayenne pepper.

When you eat red pepper, its active ingredient, capsaicin, increases the circulation in your toes and fingers. When you put cayenne (or red pepper spices) into your shoes or socks, you're doing the same thing... topically. For some people, the warming sensation happens immediately, for others, the heat gradually increases over time. (It also depends on how much you use.)

"Cayenne causes the blood vessels under the skin of the feet to dilate, thus stimulating extra blood flow and providing warmth to the feet."

How To Use Cayenne In Your Shoes Or Socks:

-Turn your socks almost inside out, and sprinkle a teaspoon of cayenne pepper into the portion of the sock where your toes and the top of your foot will be. Then slip your foot inside. Make sure the pepper is distributed evenly across the bottom of each sock. And let the warming sensation begin!

If you feel inclined to use more than a teaspoon of the cayenne pepper, then add it to a "base" of talcum powder or cornstarch first. Then sprinkle the mixture inside your socks.

Or, you could wear a thin pair of socks normally over your feet. Then sprinkle the inside of a thicker pair of socks with cayenne pepper, and put them on over the thin socks.

Just the same, you could try sprinkling the bottom of your socks, instead of filling them inside.

You could also sprinkle the mixture inside your shoes, rather than inside your socks.

Warnings Regarding Cayenne, Chili Powder & Capsaicin
Cayenne and chili powder will cause your white socks to turn pink and your feet to turn red. (Plus, they will kind of smell like chili!)

To avoid irritation, your best bet would be to not let the cayenne pepper or chili powder come into direct contact with your feet.

Do not use chili powder or cayenne pepper if your feet have any cuts, scrapes, or blisters.

Wash your hands thoroughly after applying, because even one grain that's left on your finger can burn tremendously if you rub your eyes, or if it comes in contact with your contact lenses.

Don't place too much inside your shoes or socks... you may find it warms your feet more than you can stand.
