Heated socks

Similar to above, I’ve just bought these following a recommendation, although I haven’t had chance to use them yet.

TerraTherm Insole Foot Warmers - Air Activated - 8 hours of warm feet - 5, 10 or 30 Pairs Heated Insoles - 100% natural warmth https://amzn.eu/d/fR0VUyI
 
I bought these Socks with two 9000 batteries and wear them with my attic muck boots and on medium setting my feet are toasty (when air temp was 4c) I don’t fish overnight in the winter but fish til midnight at the most and turn these on when my feet start to get cold and the battery lasts for about 5 hrs
I find them comfortable
 
I've had heated insoles for work. They worked alright to start with, but one of them packed up after about 6/7 uses. I sent them back and got a refund. I had them on the medium setting, and while they couldn't be classed as toasty, I could feel the warmth from them, and they lasted most of the day on the medium setting. You had to set the temperature before putting them in your boots as you can't change the setting afterwards. They are bulky though, especially at the heel end, where the battery is located. Made my boots a little uncomfortable to wear. Taking the boot insole out helped.

I swapped over the the Hot Hands verity in the end, and found them to be warm enough. Shame they are only one use, and they have to be thrown away once worn.

I use muck boots and tuck one of the air activated heat pack under my toes - not too warm but it makes me forget about my feet when fishing but my wellies are not tight. Also from costco you get 50 for a fiver.
 
I've got the socks.. They work fine and even got bluetooth so I can control them with my phone but as someone has said they are tight.. Mine are full length but I think some that came just above the ankle would suit me better..
