OMG - I realise Im probably late to the foot warmers party, but have to share this in case any of you weren't aware either.
Popped into Costco last night with my wife and whilst being dragged down the aisle looking at stuff we don't need to buy I found these foot warmers
Got a box of 30 in Costco for £14.99 including VAT, and you get two in each pack - they're smaller than the hand ones and fit nicely in your boots either under your toes or heels. As they're a bit smaller than the hand ones they don't last quite as long, but these are game changers - you probably wouldn't want to be walking about with them in, but, when static on the bank they're awesome.

a tackle shop i used to frequent many years a go had these, or something like them, for sale. The owner swore by them.
Given how cold it has been recently, i might have to pick some up

That's a bargain! Funnily enough I was looking at something similar on the net yesterday, some great reviews from those who use them in their work lives, tempted by heated socks too, but they're expensive.
I'm becoming a wimp in my old age but cold feet have always got me on the bank, irrespective of boot or socks, I've tried them all, must be a circulation thing.

I'm the same, and can be wrapped up so every part of me is warm but my feet will still get cold, even in Baffin Titans. I've got a pair of heated socks which are pretty good but the battery life isn't great, but on a recent visit to a local farmers store I found some of these warmers from Hot Hands so picked up 3 packs to try out.

I'm now anemic following radiotherapy and cold feet is a big proble for me. Are these the best options vs slipping a Zippo down your socks - or something else?

I think they probably are unless you have the ability to charge heated socks every night. I see you can also get heated insoles now but they ain't cheap.

They are great mate. I fished the last two winters using them.
In the past I've had good and expensive boots from Sundridge to Baffin
Frankly I wouod rather have a pack of these in my kitbag.
Personally I can't set up in anything too warm, so have to carry heavy gear.
I set up in light wool socks and Brasher boots. Then I go into winter lined cross
And thick Bridgedales. At some point in the evening if it gets cold enough
I stick the foot warmers in and they are like toast. So I don't have to take loads
Of footwear or keep changing socks cos of sweat etc.

I pretty much followed exact same journey for warm feet ....It's like branch of Deichmann in the loft!! ... I've spent a fortune on footwear from Brasher, Skeetex, Baffins, Sundridge, Muck boots etc over the years (and have kept them all) along with various different "season rated" socks .... Now I just use a pair of £25 lightweight EVA boots, lightweight breathable socks and footwarmers

These things have been a game changer for me. I am out all year round in all weathers but I suffer with really cold feet even when its not that cold, once it gets to 5-6 degrees my feet feel like iceblocks.
As posters say below I have also tried lots of £100 boot/£25 sock combos but I read about foot warmers on here last year and bought some. So glad I did.
I am fishing now, been here 8 nights and its barely got above freezing until today, I have Baffin Trappers next to me but haven't worn them once, I'm sat in an everyday pair of socks, Nash slippers, foot warmers and toasty feet!
Recommended from me.

On the note of boots, I just ditched my baffin trappers, I never realised how bad they were at keeping my feet warm now I've got a pair of muck boot arctic pros.

i wouldnt waste your money mate ..... In my experience anything by Muck Boot just makes your feet sweat (and then cold). The more insulation and the more it is a problem (even if only worn when static) ..... On plus side they are well made, pretty comfortable and great for keeping feet dry if standing in water though
