I have 2 shorter and 2 longer pairs I usually wear them to keep those damn steel wool socks from WW2 from eating my legs off at the ankles. They're warm, but damn they're harsh.

Eagles Dare Posted November 16 Report Share Posted November 16 8 hours ago, Camhabib said: They work, but I struggle to image how you would use the batteries while in waders as they’re typically designed to clip to the boot or the like. They’re also a bit pricey and can be finicky. I would advocate for some of the disposable ones instead. The batteries are integrated into the insole. Like this: I've got a pair but hardly used them. Didn't seem to work all that well. I've been mostly hunting half days (to noon or so) and my feet rarely get cold like they do on an all day treestand sit. To me it's a bigger pain to deal with charging them every night than just wearing good wool socks and semi loose boots. I'll have mine on the rocks.

To me it's a bigger pain to deal with charging them every night than just wearing good wool socks and semi loose boots. Interesting, I have not seen that design before. I can't imagine the battery lasts very long and / or that they get terribly warm. That remote would also almost certainly get lost in short order around my house. I used to spend >60 days a year skiing (downhill racing, so lots of standing around on the slope not doing much) and always came back to the disposable inserts. Nothing to lose, break, remember to charge, swap in / out, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying my feet don't get cold but they certainly aren't wet. Unscented, of course.

BrianBM Posted November 19 Report Share Posted November 19 bob_G, the older I get, the colder I get too ... I feel your pain. Clothing that was uncomfortably warm on a partyboat, ten years ago, is now barely enough. Next stop is a SOLAS suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't all that long ago I could quahog waist deep in slushy saltwater in my breathable waders. Can't do it anymore.
