The controls

Using heated soles is very simple. First, turn on both soles via the small button on the side. Then place them in your shoes.
After that, you can easily control the heat with the remote control, which you can conveniently hang on your keychain.

You have a choice of three heat settings. Use the highest setting to warm up your feet quickly, then switch to a lower setting to keep your feet comfortably warm.

The heat system

Each heated sole is equipped with a thin, flexible heating element subtly tucked away near the toes – right where cold first hits. The rechargeable battery is located under the heel and is easy to charge by plugging the cable into the back of the sole and recharging via an electrical outlet.

The heated soles operate on a safe low voltage and are equipped with a built-in protection system against overheating. So your feet will always stay comfortably warm, without risk. Of course, all models comply with European CE and RoHS standards, so you can be sure you’re using a safe and reliable product.

How long do your feet stay warm?

The runtime of heated soles depends on the ambient temperature and the heat setting selected. On the highest setting, you will enjoy about 2 to 3 hours of heat on average, while the middle and lowest settings will retain heat for up to 6 to 8 hours.

If you use the soles outside in extreme cold, start on the middle setting and only switch to the highest setting when your feet really cool down. That way you’ll get get the most out of a single charge.

Tip: always fully charge the batteries before use so you won’t have any surprises during a long hike, work day or ski day.

Comfort and fit

Our heated insoles are made of lightweight, resilient EVA material that allows the insoles to flex well with every step you take. Thanks to their thin construction, you’ll hardly notice any difference from your regular soles, except that your feet stay wonderfully warm.

Our soles fit almost all types of shoes, boots or ski boots.
