I've used lots of different boot warmers/boot driers in various hotel boot rooms over the years and they've never done any harm to my molded insoles.

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

@PeterGee, sidas do heatpads that just get stuck to the footbeds.

Sorry should have been more clear. I mean the foot heating devices some people use whilst skiing

Only thing with these and the Thermic ones to note is they recommend putting a slit in the toe end of the foot bed to pass the cable underneath rather than on top where it can rub the base of your heel.
It's easy enough to do, I've done it with mine many times and it works a treat.
Don't worry about melting your foot beds, plus heat is adjustable

@PaulC1984, ?
I think the Mrs ones run backwards and had an extra cover put on top.
Was a while ago.
Works very well.

I'm told that heated socks are very effective - no need to alter your boot at all.

I've had Thermic heated insole inserts for years and never had an issue.
Having said that a number of instructors I know have switched from heated insoles to heated socks. My concern would be wear and tear, but they have survived a full season of instructing. You can of course buy more than one pairs of socks and switch the batteries.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

The wire/cable in mine feed well above the heal so no problem with rubbing.
My shells, zip fits inners and footbeds haven’t been altered as it is a tiny amount of heat emitted.
I do have a pair of heated socks but they are too thick to fit with my boots so never used

@PaulC1984, thank you, but I’m not quite sure why I need to know that  ?

You know it makes sense.
|
@under a new name, you don't. I thought you were questioning me on how to fit them. Brain fart my end
