hi brad,

your comments made me think of two products.
one i've just bought, the other i've thought about buying.

the first is "world's softest socks" http://www.worldssoftest.com/home.php
do not ask me how they work, they look like regular socks, the material is soft, but no softer than a lot of socks i've bought, but when i put them on, they are almost magical......it's like i'm wearing socks (warmth) but not wearing socks at the same time (i barely feel like i'm wearing socks)....they have no seams that i can feel (but i have other socks like that).....its like they're proportioned just right or something, they are so comfortable....they are now my "wear to bed" socks, as like you, i need my feet to be warm, but i don't like them to feel confined.

the other product is: an electric foot heater for under the desk:
http://www.amazon.com/Indus-Tool-Cozy-Electric-Foot-Warming/dp/B000079896
i have a small electric heater for under my desk at work, but it makes me too hot over all, but just a hot pad to put my feet on, that might do the trick.
