    Default Cold feet are gone after 40 yrs of hunting

    No lie here, 4 hours in a stand and I'm done! Always been that way, and have tried everything over the years,, electric socks with the frigging "D" cells, and I still put closed cell foam padding on all my tree stand bases, over the year the only good to come out of it was learning to still hunt..
    But ohh how times have changed, I got these last year and just tried them this season in a pair of 400 gram Danners, traced the danner insole, cut to fit and it was almost an identical insole.
    The remote is nice, with two settings, they also have a new pair with removable battery.. I charge mine at lunch and over night.. granted we have not hit the deep freeze yet, but so far so good... and no sweating so far, which helps.. after years of cold wet feet... I have to put this one right at the top 9+, no cold feet this season so far..was on stand 8 hours yesterday, and 4, and 4 today.. (Home for lunch)
    Just thought I would pass this along, because I know I can't be the only one who suffers with cold feet..


    Here is a link showing both pairs with nomenclature..

    Now that's cool. I'm usually ok once my feet freeze solid and I can no longer feel them.
    There's no such thing as a free lunch.

    I defeated the notorious cold feet with the arctic shields boot blankets and the toasty toes disposables, to each their own

    I wear cotton socks in. When I get to my stand I wait about 30 min before I take off my boots and socks and replace them with a pair of cotton socks. If I get cold I add a 2nd pair. I use 2400 Thinsulate boots too.

    Also, just keep the core warm and dry and it helps tremendously. Everyone knows to do layers but use wool where you can. T-shirt, thin sweater, heavy wool sweater, overalls, then a camo coat is my cold gear. I can tolerate a lot of cold that way.

    Holy cats! The price! Of course, I'd gladly pay it at about hour 5 when my toes feel like I wish they'd fall off.

    I had to change boots yesterday at lunch and put a couple toe warmers on my socks. All good after that.
    I was in a stand from 7 till 515 except for a bathroom break and lunch ( when I changed boots). It seemed warmer early in the day and I put on a pair too light.
    Luckily, my stand is 30 yds from my house.
    The GoreTex did it's job.

    I debated on getting them. But, they are a bit pricey.
    Maybe use my Cabelas points.

    They have many poor reviews on amazon and cabelas. Seems like they have a high failure rate.

    Boot blankets and hand warmers make your feet feel like they're in Miami. They make look funny but your feet stay warm. I use only my hiking shoes and 1 pair of medium weight socks.

    Not for that price. If they last 10 years I'm down. I'm betting the 28gauge wire that's used in them will break quickly.

    Glad you are happy with them so far.
