Has anyone tried the Little Hotties Toe Warmers?
I've paid £150 for some winter boots and then more on sealskinz socks and still have numb toes at 1-2 degrees c.
So I'm thinking to try these.

  • Not sure about those, but I've just done the same as you, 120 quid on Northwave Farenheit boots, but I went for the Woolie Boolie socks, and the two combined as well as my old (and fairly knackered) waterproof overshoes (more to keep the boots clean than anything else) seems to have cured what was a real problem for me, cold toes/feet.
    So far, I can fully recommend the Woolie's, only did an hour (commute home) yesterday, but it was barely above 1 degree, and my feet were toasty warm! Yet to try them in the wet and cold combined though!!

    I've been running my normal overcovers with an additional pair of toe covers on top. Seems to be working so far though I wouldn't have said my feet were toasty last weekend.

    I use Toasti Toes which look to be a very similar product, which along with overshoes and warm socks pretty much solved my cold toes problems (unless they get wet). Winter boots and overshoes weren't warm enough for me.

    A pack of 5 pairs of chemical toe warmers from Decathlon costs £2.99. Stick them to the outside of your socks and they keep the chill away. I'm using Woolie Boolies, Northwave Fahrenheits and sometimes put Gore Thermo Power Race overshoes on top, but these toe warmers make the difference. You can stick one pair below toes and one pair above if it's particularly cold.

    Seriously, I'm folicly challenged and so wear a thermolite hat. I use mountain bike shoes, woollie Boolies and Neoprene overshoes and I'm good to -5... Never ever get cold feet since I started waering a hat.
