It is about the flux.
If you are storing heat, you will feel hot.
If you are loosing heat, you will feel cold.
Temperatures almost don't matter.
Take a steaming hot shower, when you're done get away from it, you will feel cold even though your place is ar room temperature. You're actually loosing some heat.
Take a very cold shower, you will feel hot because you're storing it.
If you're close to not loosing neither storing, you will just feel neat.
Putting your foot outside the blanket just makes you store less heat. Plus yes feet have a lot of blood flows that helps the thing.
