I am sure you have all known someone at one point who suffers from cold feet! Maybe you yourself suffer from the condition, and have been wondering why for quite some time. My boyfriend, no matter how hot or cold, if it is snowing or the sun is out, rain or shine, his feet always feel like ice. I decided to get to the bottom of his crazy chronic cold feet syndrome!
During my research, just as we had both suspected, his cold feet are linked to poor circulation. Although that is the underlying cause, there are many different medical disorders which they could be directly linked to. One reason for his chronic cold feet could be peripheral vascular disease, which narrows blood vessels and restricts blood flow to certain areas of the body, such as the feet. It also could be atherosclerosis, which results in fatty materials adhering to artery walls. Another possibility is anemia, which is the lack of red blood cells accompanied by cold limbs!
Whatever the reason for his icy cold feet throughout all temps of the year, my advice was for him to go to the doctor and get his condition checked out. With him being a hard-headed guy, he surely will not listen to my instruction! I suppose he will continue to ignore his chronic cold feet, in hopes they will someday warm up! :)

I hate when people touch me with their cold feet! But I have never heard of anyone who has this condition at all times. Maybe you should make him go to the doctor to get it checked out!
