Why are socks harder to put on cold feet?

@elmejorcabron asked the Naked Scientists:
   
Why is is harder to put socks on when your feet are cold than when they are warm?

What do you think?

    Cold muscles are less flexible than warm ones.
    Any stretching any bending will be more difficult when cold (i.e. not sock specific).
