ps. It's a hanging offence for our polar bear hunters if our guides catch them putting putting those warmers in their boots.
X2. I think the artificial heat might keep the feet too warm and they could perspire which is the last thing you want. Some good socks that I have used are Wigwam heavy socks and Icebreaker socks. These are anywhere from $20-$35/pair but well worth it and will last a very long time. These socks coupled with some good felt pacs are what work best for me.
