(HealthDayNews) -- Cold feet can be a sign of poor blood flow to your body's extremities. To improve the circulation of blood to your feet, Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center recommends you pay attention to the shoes you wear.

Choose comfortable and well-fitting pairs. The upper part of the shoes should be made of a soft, flexible material to match the shape of your foot. Leather shoes are best because the leather can reduce skin irritations. Make sure the soles are not slippery and preferably fairly thick. Well-padded soles lessen the pressure when you walk on hard surfaces.
