When it's cold...Re: There is NO comparison between actually Earthing/Barefooting... Re: THAT'S how powerful it is. WOW
The easiest option is an extra pair (or two) of natural fiber socks. In Iowa, we're 10/20 degrees (or WAY below) for many months, and when it's that cold the ground/snow is so cold that even standing in the same place for 15 minutes won't melt the snow/ground enough to wet the socks (when you have on a couple of pairs).
Leather is a partial conductor (many variables: thickness, type, whether or not it's wet) so moccasins would be better than 'not earthing'...but of course, natural fiber socks (or barefoot) would be better/best.
The more I learn about how integral it is to be in contact with the earth (not just to 'ground out' bad frequencies, but to be in contact with the natural frequencies that balance, sustain and actually heal us), the more I'm thankful my mom was a 'farmgirl' and always let us run around barefoot. Of course, in inclement weather 'she was a mom' and made us put on shoes...but these days unless I'm going to be outside for an extended time, I don't wear shoes outside until it's below 20 degrees (and I'll run out to the mailbox in socks no matter what the temp).
Seriously, unless the ground is wet...if you've never been barefoot when it's 20-ish degrees outside, you don't know how you'll tolerate it. Most people don't think a THING about going outside without gloves at that temperature range...hands/feet, what's the difference?! Give it a try before 'turning off the option' (if you haven't already).
I just read that we have something like 1300 nerve ending PER SQUARE
inch (!!!) in the bottom of our feet (apparently all animals are similarly 'rich' in their feet/paws)...of course, when you think about this, the implications are VAST.
Basically we ARE designed (evolved/whatever) to have our feet in contact with the earth...and when you think of it, it's only been a 'drop in the bucket' of years (since WWII basically) that we've had shoes that TOTALLY PREVENT the inward/outward flow of positive/negative frequencies.
Set your feet FREE!!! :)
