Grr. Finally decided to give in an deploy some of the "emergency" toe warmers I'd been carrying from the start of a 15 mile shopping ride.
Didn't do much. Figured maybe they weren't getting enough oxygen to react with in the boots so left them on after I got home.
Still next to nothing - barely detectable even with my hands. Guess I might try ignoring the directions and sticking them directly to my foot, but don't expect much.
Betting the whole bag is bad - they were picked up this summer on closeout but they're hothands brand with a 12/24 expiration date.
What's next, electric socks?
Edit: they seem to have warmed up a tiny bit while I was in the shower, afterward stuck them back on my bare feet inside my clean socks in slippers and I can tell they're there, but not sure if they'd really help on a ride. At the very least I'm now thinking it's worth opening them and exposing them to air for a few miles before even trying to put them on, though not sure how that would work with peeling the sticky backing.
