May be...: Clamminess may be related to hyperhidrosis but the cold-clammy feeling may be related to a more systemic condition, like thyroid disease. Is it just in your feet or in your hands too? Keep track of your symptoms and talk to your primary care physician about this, especially if you have other symptoms or other family members with similar symptoms.

Cold clammy feet: It could be just cold clammy feet. Some people tend to sweat a lot in the feet and that will make them cool to touch.

I am not sure.: May be your socks aren't warm enough. May be your socks, shoes or boots are too tight. May be you have a circulation problem.

Possibilities: If they are actually cold to touch, it could be due to a circulatory disorder. If they feel cold all the time but when you touch them with your hands and they are actually warm, then this can be a symptom of peripheral neuropathy. Either way, see physician to have this checked out.
