Keeping your feet warm

[DLD24]

Has anyone tried those Thermocell insoles?? I know there is quite the sticker shock with the price, but after talking with a salesperson it was pointed out that with an estimated 500 charges to the battery they should last a few years. He also said he has tested them and was impressed. But,I would like to hear from others who have used them and their thoughts.

I looked at those when i saw them but the reviews were pretty bad for them...

I've used the toe warmers that stick to the bottom of my wool socks in the toe region. They are designed to work in low oxygen inside your boot. They worked well.

The "whole foot" one also works GREAT! Very thin, so not uncomfortable, stays in place, and warm, not hot. I don't use it often, but on days like the Brainerd Ice Contest, etc. when I know I will be standing looong time, they are awesome.

Up here with bad slushy conditions we are forced to stand on the ice most seasons in insulated rubber boots. I've always followed three simple rules.

1) a dry boot is a warm boot. My boots get dried after every outing.

2) layer your feet. Merino wool and liners are the 21st century ticket!!

3) go with footwear thats not too tight. Tight footwear holds the cold tight to your feet.

My brother is a diabetic and follows these rules. He never ever complains about cold feet.

Very good rules!

I have always had cold feet while hunting, if I'm out on the ice where I can move around a bit I do fine.

Ive got Cabelas Predator Extreme pack boot and they are the warmest boots I've owned but my feet still get cold in the stand. I decided to take a different approach this year. I got a pair of electric heated insoles for riding snowmobile and made a wiring harness that plugs into my Clam power station, basically a 12v flasher battery. Today I sat in the stand an hour before sun up to 1/2 hour after sunset and my feet stayed toasty all day. I used a 12v cigeraette plug with a built in switch on the end from Radio Shack so I can turn it off and on as needed (about 3 min at a time) I would say I ran them 2 hours total and I just checked the charge with my vexilar battery tester, the tester is pretty vague but it said 50% to 90% still.
