No more cold toes!
These liners are relatively easy to put on. They seem to run true-to-size. Hubby wears size 11 shoe. We bought him L/XL. I only wear womens 9.5 shoe, but didn’t want socks to be too small, so i ordered same L/xl. I have about a half inch of sock left at the heel when I put them on, so cloud have ordered smaller size. I compensate by wearing my liners over, rather than under another pair of socks. It works great. I get 7.5 hours out of my batteries, when used on low power. I haven’t tested the other powers, really, so can’t judge length of time, but that brings me to my four-star rating, which would really be a 4.75 star, but I don’t have that choice…. The batteries are inserted in a pocket at the top of the sock. We have been wearying them so that the battery is on the outside of our legs, thinking that they might hit as we walk, but we are somehow bumping the batteries and changing the heat setting. It only requires a light push to change the setting, which is nice for gloved hands, but we are working on varied construction projects, and find we suddenly have one foot hotter than the other. So, we will try wearing them with the batteries on the inside of our legs. It’s not a big deal, since it is obvious when the socks go from warm to warmer, you can just change it back. We work when the temps are in the upper 20’s, but not colder. I suppose we might have to turn up the socks, if it was colder out, but all we were trying to do is make sure our toes didn’t fall off in our boots by the end of a long day, outside. The rest of our body doesn’t want to work when it’s any colder. We have thick insoles in our boots, so we don’t notice the wires in the socks. While still at home, when we walk on the floor, we can feel the wires, but they are not uncomfortable, they are just noticeable. It’s perfectly acceptable. Additional batteries are too expensive for our tastes, so we don’t have any back-ups.
