Engraver99 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 As I am aging, the circulation in my feet are deteriorating. I went out today (20 degrees this am) with my alpaca socks/muck boots and by 9am my feet were fozen. I think it's time I invested in some electic footwear. Anybody have any suggestions or previous experience with brands they are happy with? I've tried a bunch of cheapy insoles and socks and they work for a short time as wires break, or they are extremely uncomfortable while walking. Last year I was taking my boots off and useing my icebreaker boots covers with some boot wool inserts and alpaca socks with some hothands packages to keep them warm (worked really well feat were nice and toasty with this method). But am trying to simplify rather than taking my boots off and on to put on the icebreakers. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Culvercreek hunt club Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 I have been waiting for Pnuma to come out with socks to match their vest, pants and hand muff. Still haven't yet. I have had great luck with the 8 hour hot hands insole foot warmers while I wait for Pnuma to put out a product. Only downfall is they are actually hot if you plan on doing a lot of walking during the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Engraver99 Posted November 13, 2021 Author Share Posted November 13, 2021 (edited) socks seem comfy, can't feel the wire, seem like a quality sock, high setting doesn't seem too hot but hard to tell until I;m in the field. might test them tomorrow if I can get out.

Engraver99 Posted November 13, 2021 Author Share Posted November 13, 2021 additional info - if you get these socks I would charge the batteries up when you get them. there is no instructions for charging but this is how it works: when plugged in the led's will start flashing. when the flashing stops the batteries are charged 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
