Do they exist, or will they exist? In other words, keeping your feet air-conditioned in spring conditions and nice and toasty in cold weather?

as for the air cooled, no not that iv ever seen. As for keeping them tosty warm, yes. There called boot warmers, one of the brands is thermo feet.
Basicly its a battery pack that you clip to the outside of your boot. Then you lead a wire down the the foot bed and put the heated in sole into the liner.

yeah, i've seen the boot warmers. my feet stay relatively warm and i usually don't get cold feet. but, i get pretty overheated on spring days. . .

it would be an excellent invention if someone could come up with a way to cool down your boots in warm weather. . .

Get some different boots, and drill some holes for ventilation.

some liners just happen to be much warmer than the stock ones.

like intuition or thermoflex.

Probably not a bad idea, the little Catch-22 is that if you have holes for ventilation, they're probably going to get pretty wet since you'll be using them in slushy conditions. The snow is going to melt, and water is going to leak into your boots.

But snow is cold, and the water is cold, so your feet would be momentarily cold until your feet warm it up again and you get crazy blisters.
