Wanderer Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 These are the insoles I posted about in the "boots" thread. Brand new item. Would be nice to hear from an early adopter but that might just you or me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leech~~ Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Holy-craap. $179 bucks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomHuynh Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 YEah they are a bit spendy, but I did break down and buy a pair a few weeks ago. I hate cold hands and feet. I have been out in the stand bowhunting a few times in these cold temperatures. I actually just got out of the stand a couple hours ago and my feet never got cold. The insoles keep your feet at around body temperature, so not too hot so they get sweaty. I love that the batteries are a cinch to remove after use without having to remove the insole. I have Under Armour boots in size 11 and the insoles slid right in, in place of the original ones, no trimming necessary. To me, they are just as comfortable as any insole I have used in a hunting boot, even with the technology. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leech~~ Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 For that cost, how about a better pair of warmer boots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomHuynh Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 After a while on stand, no matter what brand of boot, or how many grams of insulation were involved in the boots I have worn, my feet get cold after a while especially with single or below 0 temps and wind chills. That's just my reasoning for using the insoles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderer Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 For that cost, how about a better pair of warmer boots? Or just buy these and use one of the half dozen pairs most of us already have... It's a horse a piece to me. Spend the money on bigger and maybe heavier boots or modify my smaller boots to handle the temps. Don't get me wrong, $179 is not nuthin'.

Todd Caswell Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Boot Blankets when you get in the stand, done deal..... Under 50.00 bucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skee0025 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I hope they got the issues they have with the originals fixed. I bought a set last year and they dont work for S@#t! Read a lot of reviews before you drop any money on them. I'd go with boot blankets or the shake up style heater pads before I will ever get another pair of these things.

Coach Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I have heard that the boot blankets are noisy, are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerstroke Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 The boot blankets I have are noisy and don't cover my pac boots. I'm looking for more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skee, I'm curious what problems you had. I went ahead and picked up a pair about a week ago. I tried them out last weekend and really liked them. Honestly I only had to turn them on twice on Saturday and once on Sunday but I was completely happy with them.I read through the operation manual and saw a few "Ah ha" discoveries before I used them. I might not have followed the directions had I not done the reading.Trying something new - especially something expensive for what you think you're getting always seems like a gamble. I was halfway planning to return them since I impulsively grabbed them. They were the last pair on the hook in my size and the rebate was only good that day. I hope I don't lose. I decided to trust the Thermacell name and inspected the product thoroughly before committing to wearing them. They seem like the real deal so far.

mwal Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 My feet get cold easily due to diabetes. I almost went this direction but instead went with a pair of Steger cammuck mukluks that Will Steger wears on expeditions to the arctic. MY feet have never gotten cold in the 3 years I have used them ice fishing or deer hunting they weigh 2lbs for the pair. I keep the insole warmers in my pack but have yet to activate them and use them. They are just rubberized moose hide and a felt liner like any pack boot 1 pair wools socks and they fit a little loose so you maintain circulation which it the trick to staying warm. Sine you are walking on one layer of moose hide I do not know how climbing ladder stands etc would be on your feet. I hunt from the ground.Mwal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boonie5 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I bought a pair with rifle season so cold this year. IF YOU BUY THEM KEEP THE RECIEPT! After half of rifle and 4 days muzzle loading the batteries are broken, the little plastic case they are in snapped and the battery doesn't sit down flush and annoys the hell out of me. And to be honest I didn't think they worked that good, that is why my advice is at least keep your receipt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
