Review of the Toasty Feet Non-Electric Insulated Foot Insoles
According to the Originals by Weber website here, the material used for this product was developed by NASA for their astronauts' use in their space suits and boots. More specifically to the product, its packaging refers to it as "Aerogel-Infused Insulation." The material is purported to insulate feet in that one's feet is to stay at around 72 degrees temperature no matter what the weather conditions are outside. The insoles have a thickness of just under ΒΌ" at their thickest level (around the toes), so one doesn't have to take out his other insoles necessarily because of how thin they are.
I got my pair and noticed that the insoles were dimpled and orange in color. I was given cutting instructions in how to make them the right size for my shoes, which advised me to stand on them with my stocking feet to get the desired size since I couldn't take out the insoles of my shoes. After cutting the non-electric insulated foot insoles using the trim lines for my desired size of 10, I easily put them in some well-worn running shoes I have. My feet quickly agreed to the dimpled feel as I began walking in them, and ran in them for roughly six miles over the next few hours in weather that ranged from the high 60s to the high 70s. My feet felt really comfortable as I ran. The insoles remained dry and my socks remained relatively dry, too, and didn't feel hot.
I Strongly Recommend the Toasty Feet Non-Electric Insulated Foot Insoles
I was in the mountains in October during a snowstorm with temperatures hovering in the 20s. As I walked around some pathways covered with cold and drifting snow, I noticed that my feet stayed warm with the non-electric insulated foot insoles even while the rest of my body was very cold. This warmth occurred via the Toasty Feet even as my feet were wading through some cold snow and cold ground.
The real test for this product would come when the bitter cold finally came to my city, when the temperatures hovered just above zero on December 30. The afternoon temperature I began my hour run with was at 5 degrees but fell to 2 degrees with wind chills hitting minus 18 degrees. Once again, despite running through and on the light snow and cold ground, my feet stayed warm and comfy throughout. And thus, I strongly recommend these non-electric insulated foot insoles because my feet have stayed comfortable and warm in such cold temperatures.
According to the packaging, these non-electric insulated foot insoles can be washed by hand with warm water and air dried. The price for each pair of non-electric insulated foot insoles is currently $21.95 and can be ordered via this Originals by Weber link here. There are two non-electric insulated foot insoles to choose from, including for Men (Sizes 8-13) and Women (Sizes 7-10).
I was provided a pair of these for review by the distributor, but was under no obligation to recommend them. My observations and the tests I conducted are of my own volition.

Post a CommentCould use these for my cold feet at home, have to look for them. Used the small heat inserts for hands and feet but not full sole ones. Thanks.
Great review Roy! I could use some of these right now. The temps are dropping here in PA, and I can't seem to warm up no matter what I do.
I've never tried the foot inserts but I have used the hand warmers. Good review, cheers :)
