Amazon shoppers who are tired of cold feet may have stumbled upon a solution. The Heat Company’s ‘Insole Foot Warmers’ are available in packs of five, ten, or thirty pairs and promise to provide eight hours of instant warmth.
The price has been slashed from £14.99 to £10.97 for five pairs, and the warmers come in various sizes: small (shoe size 3-5), medium (shoe size 5.5-7), large (shoe size 7.5-9), and x-large (shoe size 9.5-11.5). Since 1994, The Heat Company has been manufacturing these warmers, boasting that they are ultra-thin, suitable for all shoe sizes, and incredibly simple to usejust open the package, and they’re air-activated, heating up within minutes.
The company has described them as “Ideal for all outdoor activities, whether sports, walking or in the stadium.” On Amazon, the product has amassed over 7,000 positive reviews, reports the Liverpool Echo.
Declan Quinn said: “So easy to use just slide in shoes or slippers leave them for three minutes and they are so warm and keeps your feet warm for hours well worth buying them I know I will be ordering again from here.”
Another satisfied Amazon customer said: “Purchased for my husband who has constant cold feet and these have been the magic answer. He struggles terribly in the colder weather and since purchasing these heated insoles for him it has made his life so much more comfortable.
“They do retain their heat for eight hours which works perfectly when outside. He does put a thin insole on the top of the heated insole as he feels he slides a little if walking directly on them, this does not compromise the heat projected through to the foot.”
“Bit expensive and they are a worn once insole.”
And they’re not just for those looking to stay toasty indoors, cyclists have found a use for them too, with one sharing: “I got these to try and solve an issue with cold feet when cycling. I’m usually out for two-four hours and depending on the weather, either do or don’t wear insulated cycling boots.”
“For temperatures between 0 and say 7 degrees I have tried these to absolutely brilliant effect.”
Some reviewers, however, have mentioned they can feel excessively toasty, Barbara Steffensen said: “Must say 99% of the time they were lovely and warm and lasted for a long time BUT there is a time when they felt reallllllly too hot and thank gawd I only had my slippers on at the time so could take them off.”
Conversely, others are enthralled by the product’s comfort during colder days; Heather said: “I suffer really badly with chill blains in the winter months. A friend kindly purchased a pack of five for me as a gift. As these really did keep my feet lovely and warm on the coldest of days I subsequently ordered a pack of 10.
“They are thin enough to put in your shoes without making them too tight and, as they keep hot for eight hours, I put them in my slippers for the rest of the day. I did have to wear an extra pair of socks with the slippers as they felt a little too hot with just stocking feet but great. I would highly recommend them.”
