Heated socks with rechargeable batteries
Heated socks have a fine heating wire knitted into the foot, running round the toes where feet get cold first. A small battery pack clips on at the top of each sock, so there is nothing to wire into your boots. Take the batteries off, and the socks can be hand washed.

How heated socks work
The heating wire sits in the foot of the sock, mostly round the toes. A thin cable runs up the leg to a socket near the top, where a rechargeable battery pack plugs in and clips on. The supplier quotes 3 to 6 hours of heat from a full charge of the 4000 mAh packs, depending on the setting, and about 3.5 hours to charge them.
Who they are for
Standing still is what makes feet cold: watching football, fishing, waiting at a bus stop, working on a site or sitting in a cold hide. Heated socks help most there. For long walks your feet make plenty of their own heat, and a good wool sock may be enough.
Fit with boots
The battery packs sit at the top of the sock, below the knee, so boots and wellies go on as normal. Leave a little room in tight boots: squeezed toes get cold whatever you wear.
Delivery
Because of the lithium batteries, these socks ship on a special battery service and take longer to arrive than our clothing. The delivery time is shown on the product page.

Frequently asked questions
How long do heated socks stay warm?
The supplier quotes 3 to 6 hours from a full charge of the 4000 mAh battery packs. The highest setting uses the batteries fastest, so start low and turn it up if you need to.
Can you wash heated socks?
Yes, by hand. Unclip and remove the battery packs first and tuck the plug into the pocket at the top of the sock. Do not wring them hard, and let them dry naturally before you plug the batteries back in.
Can I wear heated socks in walking boots?
Yes. The heated part is the foot, and the battery packs sit at the top of the sock below the knee, outside the boot. Make sure the boots are not too tight across the toes.
