Cold feet due to neuropathy - need help

@val1980 Perhaps further testing is to rule out other possibilities. Have you been diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy? Do you know your underlying cause, if so?
My feet would be cold and I'd need heat packs to get warmth back and to wear warm socks with fleece lined slippers 24/7. On the other hand, I also went through a spurt where my feet were on fire, could not wear socks, shoes, slippers. They would flare with heat, turn bright red and I could not tolerate anything touching them until they settled. Yes, there was a mixture of both hot and cold, unfortunately.

@rwinney, I have the exact same symptoms of burning pain and red feet when wearing footwear or socks. I've found that wearing fleece lined footwear (like Ugg shoes and boots) helps a little. My neurologists thinks it's a form of erythromelalgia associated with the small fiber neuropathy.
I also suffer from very cold feet when exposed to cold. I think I prefer the cold to the hot, so I go around barefoot, or wear flip flops, even in the winter.
How long did it take you to go from burning to freezing? You called it a "spurt" in your post.
Thanks
Jeff
