Excellent find and rechargeable too!  That's a great invention.  I may have to ask a friend to buy a pair and then send them over.

Now if we could get it controlled by our GPS (thread joke!), even better!!

Well, if you use your phone as a GPS... then it would be controlled by your GPS.  :cool:

True...figure these are set and leave, was more of a joke considering the GPS thread we have going.

Very cool design indeed...and considering the USD/EURO FX rate these days, and even better buy.

Thanks!

What better excuse to upgrade than to control your heated insoles?  :grin:

I hope they don't use batteries like Samsung phones or you could get a real HOT foot.

I like this...but of all things that get cold on me on a cold day's ride aren't my feet. Hands and torso. So yes, I wear heated gloves and vest. I guess my Sidis are doing the job!

Great concept, but even if they live up to the battery claims that's only about one or two tanks of gas. My feet don't usually get too cold till a few hours into the ride anyway, and I'd need them most about 8-10 hours on...

Stupid idea, IMHO. Not enough room for enough battery to make it worthwhile. And the Bluetooth thing is overkill.

And no I'm not a luddite. I just built and programmed a module that sits in my outdoor shed. It uploads the charge voltage on my remote batteries there over WiFi, to the internet, so I can check my batteries.

You got it right. They are way over promising. I doubt they can store enough energy to keep feet warm for 5 hours not to mention there is no mass to these very thin orthotics. I believe the heat would dissipate quite quickly. Now you could take the same technology and incorporate it into the midsoles of a good pair of running shoes or hiking boots and magnify heat output and length of time by incorporating larger batteries which could also produce more heat. Sure you are stuck with using them just to one shoe but I do not believe this technology is capable at a miniature scale. What it the temp these produce?

My feet don't usually get too cold but that just means you don't need a lot of heat in these things which should make the batteries last longer.

Useless? Maybe, but maybe enough to take the chill off.
