Battery heated socks??

I've always scoffed at the idea...but my toes get SO bad, even though I have great boots. It's usually the first thing that turns me in at the end of evening skiing. I have tried everything short of buying Yak-wool socks. Has anybody had any success with these? I'm secretly afraid I'm going to get my toes electrocuted off haha

EDIT: Also curious about heated insoles instead of heated socks

what kind of socks are you wearing now with your boots?

my feet get so damn warm that for years, I just never wore socks skiing. however, I'm back to socks but they have to be SUPER thin

I always thought my boots were just cold, but I found out that blood flow to my feet was restricted from my boots and thats why my feet always felt so cold.

Battery heated socks though. Hmm, sounds a bit dangerous but I guess it could be a thing if designed right haha

Do you loosen your boots up after a run and then rebuckle at the top? Give it a shot, definitely helps.
