Aren't there good footware built to keep your feet warm? I mean you're showing us something that if it does improve the shoes, then the shoe manufacturers should do it.
@TheBeatenPaths6 жыл бұрын
Test Channel Manufactures don't want to do anything more than they have to. It costs money to do these things and that cuts into their profits. I also doubt boot maunfactures actually make the insoles, they likely buy them from someone else, premade.
@mynameisgladiator19336 жыл бұрын
Premade, yes, of course - to specifications of the manufacturer. They could spec it to do something like this.

Some of the special made Alaskin boots had something similar. Having chronically cold feet I tried wrapping space blankets around & in between wool socks & that helped a LOT. Thermal "wicking socks" a must in sub zero temps. Oversized boots helped too so toes could move/wiggle inside boots also.
@konchy11 ай бұрын
In between wool socks? Means 1 layer of wool socks outside, followed by a space blanket, then followed by another layer of wool socks inside?
@nowakezoneforever60214 жыл бұрын
Tried this the last two days and it definitely works. I had better results putting the reflector on the insole the second day instead of under the insole the first day.
@MM-jf1me Жыл бұрын
Good tip and makes sense as it would help hold heat closer to one's feet. Probably worth trying each way as sometimes folks need special insoles to feel comfortable -- perhaps that's why John suggested putting them under the insoles in the first place? For me it would probably depend on the shoes.
@dannycurtis25917 жыл бұрын
This is perfect for me! I have diabetic neuropathy in both feet, which is basically nerve damage that makes my feet “numb”, and I can’t feel heat, cold, or painful stimuli. This has resulted in a 2nd degree burn on one foot, simply caused by too hot of water in the bath tub. The neuropathy also prevents me from using commercial toe warmers, battery heated socks, and such. As I mentioned before, I can’t feel cold either, which could result in frostbite, in snow, ice, and cold weather in general. But the reflective nature of these cutout insoles should keep my feet at LEAST above dangerous temps, and prevent foot damage. I still won’t be able to actually “feel”any damage that could occur, and will require regular visible inspection(which should be performed with diabetes,anyway), but the risk of OVER heating by mechanical means will be zero. Thanks for the tip!! I’ll let you know how it works out!! Cheers!🍻

I like the idea. One thing to watch out for is this working too well. If your feet sweat in the cold weather through physical exertion and you end up staying outside for whatever reason, it is likely your socks will be wet from sweat. Make sure to carry some additional dry socks. Lack of movement and wet socks will lead back to cold feet.

Pat Ek no because that material is way to thin and will just bunch up into a ball eventually. good idea but the windshield sun blocker is a lot thicker. try buying ( Micky boots ). they are used in extremely cold weather areas of the planet. Martie on the TV show "Mountain Men " uses them in Alaska. also, you can buy electric warming wool socks that take a 9 volt or two. between those and the Micky boots you should have no issue down too around 30 below zero. if it is colder than that where you live, MOVE !!!

@MoonbeameSmith5 жыл бұрын
A trick I've been using is to use the Styrofoam that makes up those trays that meat comes on in the supermarket. No point in using the sunshade as the silver needs space to reflect heat. Cut the meat by tracing the insole as in the video, but make it about a half inch larger.. Then cut out the larger shape, and then cut in towards the actual size.. so that it looks kinda like wings.. This allows the tray to cover the sides a bit too as each fin will take the shape of the boots upper, but only a half inch or so Sadly they don't last longer than a weeks worth of wear but you can make a bunch up ahead of time and they weigh practically nothing

@curtlewis27956 жыл бұрын
I agree with Major Charles above. There's no reason your feet should feel damp from sweat with a reflective liner like this. Especially if, as the video suggests, you are wearing wool socks. Wool is the original and still the best wicking fiber. It transports perspiration from your pores while still in its vapor state and wicks it from your skin before your skin feels damp. By osmosis, the dampness then moves outward into the lining of your boot/shoe where it eventually vents to the atmosphere. Furthermore, even if wool becomes damp, it still insulates and retains body heat better than any other fiber I know of. Canoeing in the Minnesota Boundary Waters, we wore the cheapest possible canvas sneakers over a great pair of wool socks. In and out of canoes all day, ankle to knee deep in water still frigid even in Minnesota summers, our feet would be completely soaked all day while portaging from lake to lake. But body heat warmed the water in the socks and the wool maintained the heat even as our feet squished inside our sneakers. (Incidentally, we wore the inexpensive sneakers because who wants to ruin $150 or $200 boots by having them soaking wet all day and then drying-and-cracking when we took them off in camp, only to repeat the process the next day)
@curtlewis27956 жыл бұрын
@Rick James Brother, first off -- there's no need to yell. Second, with all possible respect -- of course your feet will sweat. They'd better sweat. How else do you expect your body to cool itself? Even in the coldest weather, your body had better keep sweating or you will quite simply die. In winter, you may not FEEL like you are sweating because cold climes such as Minnesota are incredibly dry in the winter so perspiration evaporates in its vapor state so you don't feel liquid sweat. But you will still lose heat due to radiation or conduction. If layers of newspaper act as insulation (as they certainly do) I don't fault you for using it. You'll have to inform us if the newspaper will last through a multi-day or even multi-week adventure. I know from experience that two pair of wool socks (alternated daily) will keep feet warm and dry for weeks on end with no noticeable odor

One of my best cheap tricks for warm feet is putting your feet in plastic bags (like Walmart bags) before putting your shoes on. Double up if you have to, used to work in a warehouse where it was 20 below.

I always say ya gotta have happy feet. They make heat reflecting felt insoles that sell at Walmart for $13. I bought some for my insulated rubber boots and so far I think they make a difference. This looks like as good a fix also.
