Landed an office job and have no idea what shoes to wear with my Reynaud's?

I have been working in casual workplaces (e.g. startups) all my life but am now about to work in a more "traditional" workplace where everyone wears blouses/collared shirts/blazers all the time.

As per the title, I have secondary Reynaud's. I take nifedipine for it but it doesn't stop it completely, especially when my hands and feet are exposed.

I have a pretty good grasp of how to dress myself from the ankles up but I have no clue how to protect my feet from the cold. And I get cold very quickly. In my old workplaces, I could wear trainers so I can also wear socks with the appropriate thickness. And since getting Reynaud's I've worn almost never worn shoes that don't cover my whole feet.

But every outfit I see when I search for examples have the tops or backs of your feet exposed (or both). And I can just imagine how cold my toes will be from just looking at them.

Any other corporate girlies in the sub with advice?

I wanted to paint on some buttercream so I bought some Sugarflair edible matt paint in primary colours thinking I could do my own mixing. Initially I wanted Colour Mill paints but the colours I wanted were sold out.

The consistency is so watery it might as well be ink. I can barely do any colour mixing unless I want to use a quarter of the container. I know it's supposed to be fast drying but the brush strokes I'm pulling hardly provide any coverage, it's so translucent. No where on the product description does it say to mix it with another ingredient. Am I missing something here or did I misunderstand this product altogether?

Any help is appreciated, I haven't had much luck online. When you search of Sugarflair, the search results only come out with their food dye range.
