In order to create toasty warm toes, even in the midst of winter, heated insoles are your best bet. Ideal if you suffer from chilblains, arthritis or poor circulation, insoles can be fitted into the majority of footwear.
Frequently powered by a rechargeable battery, and often featuring adjustable heat settings, these are perfect if your work takes you out in the worst conditions, winter sport participaters, or just if you fancy a winter stroll. Why not have a look at our awesome heated gloves to keep every extremity warm and comfortable.
Here, then, are our top heated insoles:
1) Warmfits Rechargeable Heated Insoles – Unisex
Overview
These cut-to-size rechargeable insoles from Warmfits are nicely thick and padded, and powered by an ankle attached power pack – attachments included. Washable, and offering 6 hours of continuous comfortable heat, these look good.
What We Like
Being able to trim these insoles to size is a great feature, and we were surprised how comfortable they were in boots as they feel very thick, but they left plenty of room for feet with socks on. The ankle attachment takes a little getting used to. You have to ensure the wire travels down the outside of your ankle to the insole, but it’s unnoticeable after a few minutes – ideal for outdoor chores or work.
What Needs Improving
It’s a shame the heat element doesn’t feature adjustable settings, however, we don’t feel this is a deal breaker.
2) Gmayoo Rechargeable Heated Insoles
Overview
Designed with new and innovative heating technology, these extra cushioned heated insoles have three adjustable heat settings, allowing personalized foot comfort. Breathable, washable and flexible, these appear to work efficiently well.
What We Like
These insoles are truly extra cushioned, it’s not just hype – they really are super supportive and comfortable, even when worn all day (after a full days wear, on the highest heat setting we’re pleased they’re fully washable!). Even in the harshest midwest winter, the lowest setting still kept our feet toasty, with the battery lasting over 6 hours.
What Needs Improving
Although readily available and at very affordable prices, Gmayoo could have included the battery charging pack. This isn’t going to put us off, though, as this pair of insoles has a lot to recommend it.
3) HotHands Insole Foot Warmers
Overview
HotHands are renowned for their air activated warmers. Providing comfortable heat at the touch of a button, as if by magic the warmth spreads throughout the heavy duty little plastic pouch. This is due to a complicated chemical process involving sodium acetate in water, and by pressing the little metal button, the metal causes a reaction, which is great fun to watch, and releases energy in the form of heat. The process is reversed when the pouch is popped into a microwave and heated for several seconds – it’s magic! The little pouches offer an impressive 9-10 hours of heat, and although not adjustable, you can carry several pouches in your pocket, ready to quickly replace them if your feet get cold.
What We Like
Simple, easy to use, and as long as you don’t play with them in your pocket, activating them, you can carry spares for a day spent outdoors. Needless to say, someone ‘accidentally’ activated the chemical process – there’s always one!
What Needs Improving
They do come up a little small, we got round that successfully by using two pouches per foot, so it isn’t an issue.
