Lynn, I'm wondering if you could just by the newer batteries. Don't know if the price Ron stated was just for batteries but guessing the connections would be the same.

Yeah, when I felt the inside of Ron's boots, I could actually move the plastic of the outershell with my fingers....thin baby, thin.

The toe heaters work well but Jim you brought up an intersting point.

I know that  on real cold and windy days...if I place the Hand warmer on the bottom side of my wrist, my fingers stayed warm. I did the a couple of times and it worked well. I usually put the warmers on the back of my hand cause I don't want anything between my palm and the pole grip. But heating the wrist....where the primary blood flows through seemed to work well.

It think that in some circumstances (race boots withstanding), overly tightened boots caused by improper fit are a major cause of cold feet.

Don't know how you'd put a heater in the upper cuff area of the boot cause that's were you need complete contact around the shin is key.

Hey..nothing like trying out new ideas though.

Best,
Gary
