Fits okay after some design changes/modifications
I have a 28.5 Scarpa Maestrale and I installed the large. The problem was that the boot glove covered the toe and heel binding clip in points. The glove was also a little loose around the mid boot, which I thought would let in snow. I trimmed the toe, changed the rear strap to a lower profile one and added an elastic band just in front of the heel to cinch down a bit. These mods should allow proper clip in now. See photos.
Work Great
These work great! We typically ski in warmer Tahoe and even there my wife gets painfully cold feet. Took these to Utah with temps running near zero and about 20-30 degrees colder than Tahoe. Kept both of our feet totally warm and comfortable. Easy to use, etc. Surprised a lot of ski shops try to sell customers on heated socks/insoles etc. for hundreds of dollars without pointing them in this direction first. Totally worth a try, and no BS they work. This is the first online review I’ve ever written about a product, but thought our experience was worth sharing.
So far, I love them.
Have started using these on my XC ski boots, downhill boots and Backcountry AT boots. Easy to put on (critical). I plan on using an extra velcro strap around the forefoot with my Scarpa AT boots to prevent snow getting up under the neoprene. The more I use them, the more I like them. Seems to help significantly below 15F (-10C). Had to remove a small bit of material near the toe to accommodate some bindings. I bought Large for US men's 11. My wife uses a Medium for US women's 9.
One tool in the quest for warm feet
The boot gloves fit true to size, the large fits my Lange 29.5 boots very well. They keep your boots dry as advertised. It's subjective on warmth, the insulation is on the top of the boot, which keeps some heat in but I still get cold on the bottoms of my feet. I eventually had to add boot heaters. Combined with boot heaters this is a very effective combination. I would recommend as a first step in combating cold feet. Boot Gloves + Toe warmers would also be a good set up.
Design flaw?
Maybe they tried this, but it would be much nicer if the front strap went behind the bottom of the toe pad rather than across it. that way (1) the strap would be off the front binding entirely - I’m concerned as is it can alter the release point pressure- and (2) the strap would be off the ground while walking where it wouldn’t get ruined. Otherwise seem well made and fit the boot snugly - hasn’t been cold enough to try them yet but other reviews address that.
Must have for cold days!
These might be my favorite ski accessory & that's saying a lot for me. These suckers keep your feet warm & dry. I got them for a ski trip where temps were projected to be -10 and never missed a beat with these on. I constantly have cold feet despite trying all the socks & getting new boots but I don't want to kill the planet with disposable boot warmers, cant afford electric so these were my only option and i am grateful for them.
Short term review - Game changer, need improvement
OMG why did I not get these sooner? I have struggled with cold feet, these make such a huge difference! The biggest down side is that when you walk in fresh snow it gets packed up under the sides and under the tow, and has to be cleared out. I added 1" x 2" adhesive Velcro patches to my boots and the boot gloves. This helped a lot to keep snow from packing under. The toe could be better shaped to fit the the boot and stay in place better. No interference with bindings. They are wonderful to have!!! Feet stayed much warmer. Not as feature rich as they should be for the price. I will keep making modifications.
Low key excellent foot warmers-but
I work on the mountain, standing is crazy in 1 degree at 11,000'. You can feel the cold come up your boots. These work, easily add 10-20 degrees of heat, easy to put on but Dry Guy refuses to beef up the underneath boot strap, so either duct tape it yourself of these will blow up fast on hard asphalt. Beats Hotronic's that are total overkill. Just add a Lil' Hottie on your sock toe, a DryGuy and you're a happy camper.
A noticeable improvement
I am always looking for ways to keep my wife and daughter out on the slopes longer and keeping their feet warm is key to that. The Boot Glove is a fairly simple device to install and after a week in Telluride skiing in fresh snow in single digit temps, everyone in our family thought these helped keep our feet warmer. Even with the covers, I was able to reach 2 of my 3 buckles to loosen up while on the lift.
They defintely work
Tried these out in -10 temps with strong wind gusts and they definitely made a difference. I skied the day before without the boot glove and with about the same temps and even with less wind and my toes froze and were in pain after an hour. I used toe warmers both days and without the boot glove the toe warmers lost all heat after about 30 minutes. The next day I used the boot glove and it kept the warmth from the toe warmers in the boot and blocked the wind. On the lift rides I could warm my toes up even more by just lifting the top of my foot to the top of the boot and felt the heat each time for two straight hours. My feet could have lasted much longer but I left due to my fingers and torso being cold. Some addition tips that also help in very cold and windy days is to keep the boots warm on the ride to the resort by putting them near the car floor heaters or using a boot heater, and open the toe warmers at least a half hour early so they are good and warm when you use them. I also put the toe warmers over the top and front of my toes and that seems to work the best for me. All of that just seems to make the boot glove work even better on very cold days. The boot glove was easy to put on and the sizing was perfect for my boots, and they didn't interfere with my bindings. I don't walk around with them on my boots and only put them on right before I snap into my skis so they are holding up well.
