JohnGalway 1,043 Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 My toes are about to fall off and fly South for the Winter. Reckon my circulation is fecked. I better sort something out for lamping. Tried and disliked heat holders, kept slipping down and wore holes in them in no time Tried long smartwool mountaineering socks, better but expensive, holed them too. Tried battery heated insoles Great if you like to be followed around by a vague whiff or burning, shite if you expect anything else. Currently on Dickies from TK Maxx (temporary measure, hole in one of them now too ) Reckon I'd prefer wool, avoiding cotton like the plague as it holds onto moisture and COLD. Did get new insoles for the wellies which should help Suggestions on a postcard puh-lease Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I dunno, sounds expensive get a decent pair of boots Ideally yeah, but we've too much bog here, often out night after night they'd never get a chance to dry, wellingtons it is I'm afraid. Seal skin Oh yeah, tried them too 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

neil82 1,080 Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 http://www.britishmilitarysurplus.co.uk/ishop/1069/shopscr183.html bought several pairs of these, toasty as hell, best part was a few were brand new, only thing with this site is you seem to pay for a set sized box for delivery so try and order a decent ammount of gear at one time Quote Link to post Share on other sites
