Poster: A snowHead
|
My daughter got me some of these for xmas and I've been using them for 8 days in Austria with temps down to -10'c where normally I would have numb toes but my toes have been comfortably warm all week, they have made a huge difference, they are not too faffy as I dont take them fully off, just fold them over enough to access the toe buckles.
The downside is that they have taken some damage as I am a fairly aggressive skier and I dont expect more than 4 weeks use out of them but less than £10 a week for warm feet is good by me

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

@tangowaggon, you know what, I saw a few of these in Cervinia this week and was begging for some yesterday. I have heated insole but have found my feet sweet even on the lowest setting, so I end up worse off. Might just have to grab some of these

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I got a set of those for my kids and they're ace. It was cold enough at Xmas that my daughter used them in addition to heated insoles, they made a huge difference.

I bought some bootgloves, but my silly feet are so sensitive, I was in agony from the pressure of them - and I bought the right size. Boot warmers/dryers were my revelation, that's all I needed.

My feet, which are usually fine, have been really cold the last few days. Given that I don't have an old wetsuit handy in the Alps, but do have an old pair of salopettes, do you think the (pretty much waterproof and padded) salopette material would be worth a try?
Hoping @Mistress Panda will be along to resurrect the photos from that thread at some point, too......
