prunerye,

In response to everyone’s sandals comments, you’re really missing out if you don’t go barefoot in the snow every now and then, so long as there’s only a light layer. Every step is cushioned and refreshing. It’s good endorphins all around, like taking a breath of fresh air after leaving a stuffy room. When the snow gets high enough that it kicks up onto the tops of your toes, that’s cold.

naun,

I have Raynaud’s, so a hearty “Fuck no” to that.

nixcamic,

Hmm see going barefoot or flip flops everywhere stops my Raynaud’s from flaring up. Different for everyone I guess.

gabbagabbahey,

In the words of Kenny Hotz, “Why won’t it warm up?!”

BonesOfTheMoon,

All right I’ll try. What the hell.

Deuces,

I like it in light powder, in sticky snow, that’s a hard pass.

disheveledWallaby,

I’ve been spotted!

Facebones,

Hey don’t forget my flip flops!

TheSlad,

With socks too! Gotta keep them toesies warm

This is my first winter after turning 30 and suddenly socks and sandals is the greatest thing why do people shit on this? My outfit for grocery shopping today was literally shorts, hoodie, socks, sandals (slides style with the single thick band over the arch)

EvolvedTurtle,

Honestly the only issue I have with socks and sandals is the one where the support goes in-between your first 2 toes

I still find it comfortable tho lmao

TheSlad, (edited )

Thsts why slides sintead of flipflops

Orrr toe socks if you wanna get extra freaky

When I lived in Stockholm my roommate was from Florida. He never left the house with anything but shorts on, even in -20°C, when I (Icelander) was bundled up in three layers, a beanie and mittens.
I don’t know how he could withstand it.

meliaesc,

Maybe he didn’t own any other clothes and after a certain time he had to keep up appearances. I’m picturing him going to extreme lengths to get realistic prosthetic finger replacements as they suffered from frost bite… because everyone thought it was incredible that he was fine in shorts.

pillars_in_the_trees,

They’ve done studies on Win Hof and some people at least are just physiologically resistant to the cold.

EvolvedTurtle,

Florida man

bmsok,

The importance of properly winterizing for February starts with suffering through October and November.

fuzzzerd,

Gotta build that brown fat.

Underwaterbob,

In my hometown, we had “Mr. Noshirt”. He’d walk everywhere in any weather either without a shirt on, or with a flimsy dress shirt unbuttoned the whole way. In Canada, so it got cold. Rumors were “couldn’t feel cold” or the more likely “mental health problems.”

flashgnash,

I think you eventually get used to it whatever you wear

I tend to be the shorts and t shirt in the middle of winter guy, but when I put a hoodie on it’s the most comfortable, perfect temperature you could imagine

Underwaterbob,

As I get older, the cold bothers me more. Used to be, I could go outside and throw snowballs with my bare hands no problem. Nowadays, the temperature drops below 10, and suddenly my hands physically hurt if they get cold. It’s not even related to how physically fit I am given I started a five-day-a-week gym habit eight years ago and am in some of the best shape of my life. It’s just stupid aging as far as I can tell.

slackassassin,

Randy bobandy just out there chugging cheese burgers. Noamsayin.

interdimensionalmeme,

That’s one of the few benefits of being fat.

corship,

Actually muscles are what keeps you warm.

The amount of fat required to provide significant insulation is not really feasible for humans with the addition that the feeling of being cold might even be increased.

    What if they’re doing it for exercise and the intention is to make it more difficult or to accomplish it on a bike?

    They’re not just for coasting downhill.

    5in1k,

    I am that white man. I’m just not cold, sorry about your luck I guess.

    Jorgelino,

    And then there’s those of us on the other side of the hemisphere, where december is summer and 30°C is normal everyday temperature.

    I literally start shivering at anything below 20°C.

    flashgnash,

    I start overheating past 30 I would hate it there

    I can go outside in in the snow with shorts and a hoodie, but with sandals on.

    but when it gets really really cold I need to have closed-toed shoes on. I usually wear those minimalist toe-shoes when it snows.

    All of my heritage comes from places where it’s frozen or very cold all year round.

    Zink,

    This is me. Am white dad on vacation this week. It’s not that cold, like 70F, but there has been chilling rain all week. I’m the guy not only soaked in my shorts and t-shirt among a sea of ponchos, but still sticking my head into the fountains and stuff.
