HotronicHeat Sock XLP One Mens

Bought 3 pairs for family to ski in the Northeast (1 lrg, 2 med). They do keep feet warm. But, they are near impossible to put into the ski boot without some of the material, especially the underfoot material with the wiring, bunching up uncomfortably. This occurred to all 3 users no matter the care one took stretching the material on, and no matter the care one took to put your socked foot into the ski boot. In the end, either way, one would have to come in because of cold feet without the heated socks, or to come in to relieve the discomfort of the heated socks. We wanted the optionality to use these for skiing and with other winter footwear, but for well-fitted ski boots one is much better off using the installed permanent Hotronic system. Also, we found we could not change the heat settings without having to expose the button on the battery to press properly, and to see the lights for what setting the socks had been changed over to.

bad design. The wires are directly under the ball of your foot so all your weight will be on the wire. Setting 2 to start and when my toes started to get cold I bumped it to 3. No difference, but more pain. It would probably be better to design something with the wired in the toe area. They might work in your home watching TV but for not out on the slopes. No refund so I had to throw them away.

Having battled Raynaud's disease for years (causes blood vessels in the hands or feet to overreact to the cold, causing numbness and pain), I have sought many solutions - usually succumbing to heading into the Lodge after 2 or 3 runs.These socks are amazing. I was able to ski all day with no pain, no cold, no problems. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

I never leave product reviews and always have cold feet, however today is a day of firsts. I bought the Hotronic XLP One socks when I saw it would be severly cold in Whistler as even on a 20F day, my feet get cold. The socks are comfrtable and easy to use. Fully charge the batteries, pop them into the socks and your off and running. There are 4 power settings to choose from. I opted for the 2 level as I wanted to get a full day and I was not disappointed. The temp at the base was -6 F this morning, mid mountain was -16F and the Summit was -24. I skied the whole day and not once had cold feet which is a miracle. The only thing I was disappointed about was not getting these years ago. A+

We immediately returned these socks as they had obviously been worn by someone already. The fabric was pilled at the heels and they were FULL of dog/cat hairs. Obviously someone had returned them and they were not quality checked before repacking them and shipping them out to someone else. DO YOUR JOBS when you get returns!!!

Not what I expected for the price. In the mid 20'S and I would have been better off with good wool socks

Purchased for my daughter; once she got used to them they were great. Too hot for her even on low settings so she wore a thin liner on her foot. Only used 5 days so can't say anything about durability, but so far so good.

Think they are a big tight on the calf. But I have never worn compression socks before and perhaps that is how they should be. Comfortable nonetheless.
