I have a pair of MOBILE WARMING merino heated socks.
Pros- Merino is very comfortable and never gets nasty or stinky with sweat.
4 different heat settings are perfect.
Bluetooth control is extremely convenient to adjust heat and check on battery level from your phone
Battery capacity seems adequate
Cons-Pretty often one sock will lose connection with my phone and the sock will just simply turn off. This happened more when I wear knee high rubber boots that I assume block the signal (I have not reached out to the manufacturer to see if this is common).

 

If you want the best look into Lenz

 

I really like the Snow Deer brand. I like the fact that the heating element goes fully around your toes not just on the bottom of them. I'm on my second season with them and have had no issues. Plenty of battery life!

 

I second Snow Deer, I’m on my 2nd season as well and there great.

 

Gerbing heated socks is what I’ve used for 2 yrs with Pnuma vest. No complaints.

 

Lenz and upgrade to 1800 batteries ...

 

Lenz 6.1 are the bomb...

 

Holy $&!T. They're also $475 for a pair of socks! 🤯🤮

 

Holy
No way I would spend that much money!

 

I also use the Fieldsheer heated socks and base layers with Bluetooth from the Mobile warming store and love them.

 

Lenz. You asked for high quality.

 

For that kind of money my wife would just say go get frost bites,
Can’t believe a pair of socks could cost so much money.
Heaters for my money
Good luck

 

The best electric sock is actually an electric insole.

Thermocell makes the best IMO.

 

The insoles aren't near as hot as the socks. I have 2 sets of insoles and I like the socks a lot better. I have the Dr. Warm and can't begin to tell you how they compare to others because I haven't used the others........

But for the $89 I paid for them I'm happy. Remote operated and they don't shut off. They don't last real long but enough to get me by for a morning or evening hunt. There "may" be better ones that's why I clicked on this thread.....but if the others are $475 I'm not so unhappy that I'll spend that.

 

I have a pair of snow deer for 2 years, lithium batteries but no fancy remotes etc. I wear a merino wool liner sock with the electric sock over top, I had them on low for 6hrs on Monday and still going strong. Actually going to get another pair for my son, i believe they have a one year warranty

 

So how do you turn them on? That's the beauty of the remote IMO. That way you can walk to the stand with them off and not sweat. Then turn them on after you cool down. Other wise it seems like it would be hard to turn them on in the stand. Or you have to walk in with them on.....both sound rough.

 

Regardless of what you decide brand wise, I can say unequivocally mine are the best hunting investment I’ve ever made.

 

The day I switched to wearing just a thin see through sock liner and that’s it the game changed. I wear a big boot similar like a cabelas inferno style but it has a thick wool insert you can take in and out. When u don’t wear the insert the boot fits like it’s 3 sizes to big.

Lots of moving room but u lace it up and the boot doesn’t move when walking. Bc of the fit and tiny thin sock my feet don’t sweat which is the #1 reason people get cold feet. If it’s below 20 I drop a hand big warmer inside each boot at the base of my tree. Your feet will be so warm in sub zero temps you’ll have to lift them up off the hand warmers and let your feet rest. The ultra thin sock is the key to the entire system. Even a mid weight sock kills the ability to feel the warmer and forces sweat when walking. If it’s 20 degrees with a windchill of 10 and I’m only sitting for 2 hours I don’t even put warmers. Thick wool socks a tight boot is the worse combo you can attach to your foot.

I’ve tried all the heated socks heated insoles etc and there’s nothing that even comes remotely close to holding a candle to the system I use now. It does require a tad more effort having to slip your foot out at the base of the tree but it’s worth it. I’ve tried putting the warmers in before I made a few hundred yard walk and you’ll be bouncing through the woods trying to get out of the boots.

 

I agree with the previous insole comments, they didn’t do much for me

I started with the snowdeer which are good but did make the investment in the lenz, they are great

 

I wore these out in 17 degrees weather. Did a full day sit as the temps topped out near 30. Had a pair of socks under and my feet were toasty on setting number 1. No, there is no Bluetooth adjustability, but for 30 bucks, I couldn't be more happy. When I got home, the 3 indicator light still showed 1 remaining when I plugged it back in. So I only went through 2/3 of the battery from 5:30 am to 6:00 pm. My whole body was warm because my feet were warm. I wore them again the next day and it was 22 degrees out. Feet were toasty and the only was as well!

 

The insoles don’t get as hot to me as socks, tried them out and took them right back

Lenz are expensive but high quality stuff

I just use the snow deer ones off of Amazon and I’m on my second yr with them, no problems so far

Thanks all!

 

I own the lenz work very well
