Keeping Your Feet Dry During Winter/Spring Sports

Everyone knows that having numb feet isn't much fun, so here are some steps to keeping your feet dry during the wet, cold conditions of outdoor winter/spring sports.

Supplies: 3 pairs of socks (two pairs over the calf), 2 plastic bags, and a roll of duct tape.

Step #1: Wear two pairs of socks. The second pair going on top, should be longer (to the calf or knee).

Step #2: Grab two plastic bags (grocery bags are perfect) and a roll of duct tape. Place each foot in a bag and secure the bags to your legs using the duct tape. IMPORTANT: Do not tape on your skin, tape it to the sock. Also, be sure not to tape the bags too tight. If you legs feel tingly, it's TOO TIGHT.

Step #3: Put your final pair of socks over the bags on each foot and make sure they are pulled up to your calf (or knee if longer).

Things to keep in mind: This will keep your socks dry, but only if combined with the proper winter/spring footwear. (eg. Snow boots, rubber boots, soccer shoes, etc)
