How many bike rides or ski sessions have been spoilt because of cold feet?
Cold feet are often a consequence of outdoor sports and pursuits. Whether you race, tour, or just want to enjoy cycling by being a bit fitter, you need to ride your bike during the colder months of the year.
Lets face it, in this country there are three seasons when it can be cold, in truth probably four, and if we only rode our bikes when it was sunny, we may not ride them very often.
There are many factors as to why our extremities are the first areas of the body to feel the cold. The body naturally tries to maintain its core temperature and therefore circulates the blood away from the head and feet towards the torso. As a result it is important to think about layering and keeping the upper body as warm as possible. The majority of the body's heat will escape through the top of the head, so you should wear a hat under your helmet to combat this. These simple procedures will help with the problem of cold feet but they won't solve it entirely.
So, what can you do about it?
Our heated insoles fit easily into your cycling shoes and generate constant heat direct to the feet via a discrete rechargeable battery. Developed by a German professional cycling team who had become frustrated at riding with cold feet during the harsh winter months, these heaters are the very latest in sporting technology.
The insoles have 3 different heat settings and can be heated for up to 14 hours before the battery requires recharging, which is more than enough to cover most rides even if your name is Mr Armstrong. So now even if it's very cold you don't have to forget that all important training ride or abandon your daily commute in an attempt to avoid frostbite in your toes, you can ride whatever the weather!
Using high performance technology from Mematec, our boot heaters utilise shockproof battery housings with replaceable rechargable batteries. There are three insoles with differing battery lives to choose from and with each having 3 heat stages you can adjust the insole at any time to the appropriate temperature for your ride with ease. The technology is protected by a neoprene overshoe, which includes a pocket for the battery to sit in and reflective material strips offering both safety and comfort.
Another great benefit the insoles offer is that you can swap them between shoes if required, meaning you can mountain bike one day and cycle on your road bike the next day all without enduring the pain of freezing cold feet.
To complement the foot heater range, we also offer a boot-dryer which will dry wet shoes/boots overnight, so no matter how extreme your sport or how extreme the weather, you'll be able to carry on regardless with dry warm feet!
