Abstract: The thermal and wet comfort of cold-proof shoes is important for people living in cold areas. In this study, the literature related to the heat and humidity comfort of cold-proof shoes was searched in the Chinese and English databases such as CNKI, Web of Science, etc. This paper summarized the related contents about the thermal-moisture comfort and thermal-moisture coupling effect of shoes in the literature, and found that there was a lack of relevant contents of thermal-moisture coupling on shoes in the past research. Therefore, this paper summarized the winter shoes' thermal-moisture interaction in cold environment in order to provide reference for the study of the winter shoes' thermal-wet comfort.
