Hans Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 since I wear foam injected leather liners in my tracks 700 I have no wet,cold feet anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pebu Posted July 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 I've never used them, but they can't hurt. And for $16... The one problem I see is if you like to unbuckle a toe latch while on the lift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEJ Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Something like that, (covered the whole boot) used to be the rage for powder skiing back in the 70s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queequeg Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Anyone ever used these? They look absolutely gaperific...but if they help on those zero to negative days in VT, I don't really care... I've heard they work very well from a number of sources. But yeah ... they look stupid, I don't know if I could get myself to go there. I have a pair of hottronics that seem at times to work a bit *too* well, but are great nonetheless as long as you are mindful that they can get a little too hot at times. Ever since I switched to Dalbello gold liners all my foot freeze/numbness/pain seems to be a thing of the past though I made the switch late enough last season to not have had the chance to see them perform in truly cold weather, I'm hoping that I can forgo the hottronics with them.

pebu Posted July 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Whenever I'm boarding I don't even realize my feet are warm or cold until I go inside. By the time I realize they're cold enough that I want to go in, they're REALLY cold... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algunderfoot Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 A buddy of mine's girl (a two planker) had some of these and they certainly didn't help her, she was always cold after the first couple runs...had to go in...which was actually a good thing for us. I remember seeing them selling at $29.95, so obviously there are alot left. Expanded cell neoprene works well when in can trap heat against the body, but outside the boot there is not much heat to trap. They would certainly make a carver look..... well needy. We regularly use the adheasive backed, disposable and biodegradable toe warmers for sub zero days in the UP, but stick them to the bottom of the liner not your sock, otherwise you sweat straight away and get cold piggies anyway.

k2slopesurfer Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 when she skis, she has poor circulation and they keep her feet way warmer than her boots without... they work better than toe warmers for her.... and when she boards, its softies, so no problems with cold toes.

Seb Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Couple years ago, my Mom had snow intrusion with brand new Head Ski boots ( poor design ). Head dealer gave her a pair of those boot gloves. It seems to work fine for snow intrusion + added some cold protection. They "chew up" very quickly ( stepping in & out of bindings + walking ) and were unusable within 15 ski days. PS: Head finally gave her money back.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carvedog Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 For skiers they might work. I want my toe bail to lay down as close as possible. Seems like it would get in the way. Besides the fact the fact that they, they, they, look sooooooooo fugly I can't even............. think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
