SkyMall Monday: Rechargeable Heated Slippers

by Mike Barish (RSS feed) on Jan 16th 2012 at 1:00PM

What do you wear to stay warm? A hat? Some mittens? Perhaps a pair of boots? You're a fool. When temperatures plunge below freezing, you can't rely on down and wool to keep you from dying of hypothermia. And body heat alone won't suffice when you're lost in the wilderness. If you're going to keep frostbite at bay you need to bring your own heat to the party. This week, SkyMall Monday looks at the latest in feet-warming technology with this gem from SkyMall: Rechargeable Heated Slippers.

Did you see that video? These slippers literally light snow on fire! They're like the Back to the Future DeLorean of rechargeable heated slippers. And despite most people defining slippers as footwear that you enjoy indoors - where you presumably would have access to a radiator or fireplace to keep warm - these slippers are also for outdoor use. And they're fashionable because they look like you made them from your sleeping bag and a car tire.

Think that a good pair of boots with some wool socks will keep your feet plenty warm? Believe that the best heated accessories necessitate nuclear reactors? Well, while you're losing feeling in your toes we'll be reading the product description:

The Volt heated indoor/outdoor slippers provide you with hours of soothing warmth for numb toes and cold, tired feet. Designed with a built-in thermostat control that automatically regulates heat temperature for optimal comfort.

Enjoy between 110 to 135 degrees of pulsing heat for up to 6+ hours per charge.

Much like we all have our own sleep number, we also have personal optimal foot temperatures. My feet are happiest at around 118 degrees. Anything hotter than that and it starts to resemble a French cheese shop down there.

Gear up properly for winter lest you lose some digits to the elements. Leave your Freaky Freezies at home and graduate to a new level of warmth with these Rechargeable Heated Slippers.

Mike -- those are some good-lookin' booties! And talk about heavy-duty -- I do believe they'd survive most of a trip across a good-sized gravel ski area parking lot before they got shredded. And, that fashionable day-glo color totally eliminates the need for a safety vest for use by a school crossing guard or a hunter in a tree stand.
These guys are just going to fly off the shelves!
