I suffer from chronic cold, damp feet in the winter even if I’m in a warm room. My solution has always been to put my socks in the dryer and put on two warm pairs for temporary relief. I finally decided to invest in electric socks. I’ve worn these daily for about a month, and have solved my cold feet problem. The overall quality is good. But they are not perfect. They are pretty snug and I get involved in a wrestling match to get them on and off. But, once on, they are not uncomfortable (I wear size 10 mens). Around the house, I wear slippers or socks only and found that these work best if I put a second pair of larger bulky socks over the electric ones. The batteries can take time to charge and will last about 4 hours on medium – maybe 2 on high. Once the batteries are in the dedicated side pockets, they are pretty much unnoticeable .The heat is subtle – but enough to do the job. They work well with winter boots. I have found that they are sometimes very itchy where the elements are located at the top of the foot. I got a rash when I first used them. I think its the fibers digging in to the skin. Maybe I just have sensitive skin. They still itch a month later unless I take the precaution of rubbing a little Vaseline on the effected area – then no problem. Even with the drawbacks, I can recommend these socks – they cured my cold feet! I think I’ll be searching for a second set of batteries so I can extend the wearing time.
