A night that gets colder as autumn deepens. My legs are cold and I wake up in the middle of the night.
Even if it isn't, the one I paid attention to this year, which is almost cold all year round, is "It's like a kotatsu leg warmer." This is a new product released in September by legwear maker Okamoto.
It's a big mistake to just cover your ankles. "Heat-retaining fiber" jointly developed by Toray, Toyobo, and Okamoto fiber specialists is used, and it is gently wrapped in warmth from the side you touch.
The secret of warmth is the ankle. By applying a slightly tight and unique knitting method, it seems to warm the acupuncture points called "Saninko". Saninko is an acupuncture point just above the ankle, and it is the anno part where severe pain runs when pressed by people who tend to get cold.
As it is a leg warmer type, it is also a point that you can quickly put it on the socks and tights you are wearing. I think it's especially easy to use even in a winter office where your feet get cold!
The price of "Like Kotatsu Leg Warmer" is 1,800 yen (excluding tax). Available in three colors: gray, black and wine red.
