Nothing can ruin a day’s skiing like freezing feet. If you’re a sufferer in this department, there’s good news in the form of Conform’able’s Volcano Thermic Insoles (€39.90).
Coming with an integrated heating element, you simply hook up your insoles via a wire to the compatible battery pack (normal AA Power pack – €69.90, rechargeable battery model – €149) which clips onto your ski boot. If it gets nippy simply switch on for toasty tootsies. With three heat levels, on the lowest setting you’ll get about six hours of warmth and on the highest about two hours of serious heat.
And that’s not the only source of comfort. These insoles combine 25 years of research in medical and sporting podiatry and have a moulded 3D shape for pressure distribution and support, a polyamide heel cup for stability, a breathable top and EVA foam cushioning.
Available from 53 Degrees North, Blanchardstown and Carrickmines; the Great Outdoors, Dublin 2 and Climate, Belfast.
