Toe warmer booties?

I use Lenz heated socks, they work great, Bluetooth controls on your phone and can set them for interval heating. Work great!
+1 (or maybe +2 since someone already mentioned them). I went with the larger battery option on the top-of-the-line sock and the only times I've been unhappy have been my own fault—either it was warm enough I didn't need them (and the socks are on the warm side even before you fire up the heat) or it was cold enough that I was seriously regretting haven chosen not to wear them. Bluetooth adjustment in 10% increments is a huge plus.

The only time I've managed to finish off the batteries was a race day at Sugarloaf, and even then, they weren't completely dead when we were breaking down at the end of the day; they just didn't have the charge I was hoping for to warm up the street boots I'd left in the van.

I bought Hotronic socks last year. What a waste of $$ for me. Everything behind the ball of my foot sweats and the toes are frozen.

I've tried heated soles and electric socks, but they didn’t help much. Disposable foot warmers are still the best for keeping my toes warm.

Even within brands, some socks have different heat patterns. I'm not sure if Hotronic offers a full toe cap option, but I'm glad that I went with the 6.1 from Lenz to get that coverage rather than one of the cheaper models that doesn't.

I've tried toe warmers and heated socks before, but honestly, they didn’t do much for me. The full foot warmers have been the most effective for keeping my toes warm. I’ve had the same issue with my toes freezing while the rest of my foot ends up sweating. If you’re still having trouble, heated insoles might be worth a shot—they've been better for me than those fancy electric socks.
