| Best Heated Insoles and SocksFriday, 4 November 2016 | Admin Keeping your feet warm in the cold weather is vitally important. As well as being one of life's greatest comforts, warm feet are more mobile and better protected from injury and disease. For example, Raynaud's syndrome, a disease where blood flow to your extremities is reduced, is most commonly triggered by cold weather. The best way to protect yourself from this affliction is through the use of heated or electric insoles and socks. Heated insoles are also a great thermal tool for winter sports such as skiing, snowboarding and cold weather mountaineering, helping you to reach new heights (literally) and keep going for longer in cold conditions. Purchasing electric insoles can often quite naturally feel more complex than purchasing standard insoles, however. That's exactly why we've decided to offer this helpful guide to the Best Heated Insoles and Socks, which we hope will leave you feeling informed and at ease with this range of products. Heated Insoles and Socks BasicsAs all heated insoles and socks rely on electric heating elements, they all require a power source. Usually, this comes in the form of a battery pack which charges the insoles or socks. These battery packs often attach to the person or directly to the product, for charging on the move; this can be particularly useful when using the product continuously over a number of days, such as during a mountaineering ascent. Almost all battery packs use a high quality lithium-ion battery which is rechargeable at the mains. Some heated insoles and socks are supplied with a compatible battery pack, while for others the battery packs are sold separately. Where this is the case, you'll always be able to find a link to a suitable battery pack on the product page. Best Electric InsolesHeated insoles provide the best of both worlds. Retaining the medical benefits of orthotic insoles, such as protecting you from certain foot conditions, they are also able to keep your feet toasty warm, regardless of the weather.
