Was searching a didn't find anything.

Do these things work? Or is a one time hand warmer shoved in my boot still the best thing. Got some gift cards and was looking and they are all on sale right now.

I've had mine for a few years, they still work great!

There's a topic on insulated boot covers on page 13 where they were discussed.

Got a pair for Christmas, I’ll let you know how they work out this weekend when it’s colder than a well diggers arse.

I've heard good things about them from people who hunt every day from October 1st to Jan 31st.

I have a pair. They work great for keeping warm. Only down side I have found is that they are thicker than normal insoles, so might cause some discomfort on the top of your feet depending on how your shoes fit. I only use them if it will be bitter cold because even with a size up on the shoe, they still cause discomfort. Not as bad as numb toes though.

i have had issues with feet cold.. or sweat for YEARS. Tried every single thing for 30years. What i finally found was a pair of 1200gram insulated rubber boots, and one pair of bass pro heavy duty wool socks, highest % wool i found was like 89%. Those socks and boots and my feet hadnt been cold since and ive hunted snow, kentucky, ice, and no issues since. Just enough so i dont sweat walkn, but enough to keep warm in the stand.

Were they using them in boots or waders that leaked? I'm lucky that my current waders are 3 years old & still don't leak.

My waders are 1600 gram insulated, & with the Thermocells, I did dial back on my sock thickness due to the increased thickness of the heaters.

I just got a pair...will use them this week and report back.

Tried the Thermacells last Thursday. Temp was in the 30's. Followed all instruction for charging etc. Everything seemed to be working...As I got ready to insert them into my boots I noticed the left insoles was not working. I tried paring ...per instructions...still nothing. The right insole did work warm-up some...After talking with the Thermacell customer service (they said after they collected all my information it would be three to six weeks to get a replacement). I'm returning them for a refund.
