These booties are great! I know there are a lot of iffy reviews on this product but it is truely not as bad as they say. At my job we use some similar to these but they do not stay hot as long as these do. I was amazed at how long they stayed warm! The only down fall I can say is that they are a bit big I wear 61/2 -7 in women's but the heat does get to the whole bottom of my foot. For those who say it doesn't warem their whole foot I think they might not be heating up the whole thing and just doing the bottom insert if you heat them both together it feels great!
These are amazing! I have bad circulation and end up with cold feet at night. These warming footies have been great for warming my feet and helping me fall asleep faster. These are loosely fitting and the microwaveable inserts get tucked into a layer on the bottom of the footies. These are not intended for walking (although I can trudge around a bit with them when I don't want to take them off). The inserts feel like little bean bags (like the ones you use for playing bags lawn games). You will look like an old lady (or man), but your feet will be warm. Just get them - you won't regret them.
For $10, this is a good product. My disappointment was that the beans (which hold the warmth) are all in the bottom of the bootie. So you can't warm the top of your feet or toes...if they are loose enough on you (and they were on me, I wear a ladies size 9) you can put them on upside down to warm the top of your feet. Another issue is you can't walk or drive in them--I had bought them to warm my feet before ballet class but they will not work for this purpose. Rotating them is inconvenient but, in doing so, they DO help sooth my feet after ballet when I am too lazy to pour a foot bath.
These are a little clunky to walk around in but they sure are cozy! Perfect for warming up chilly tootsies on a cold, Winter day or soothing sore feet after a hard workout. Imagine yourself on a cold, Winter day. You have been out shoveling snow and taking care of whatever Winter errands you have. When you come home you have to shovel the drive again and you are cold to the bone and just want to warm up. Well, these booties give you the feeling of sitting near a roaring fireplace with your feet propped up front and center. :) We love the scent and it reminds me a bit of the holidays. It also reminds me of my Grandma for some reason, if you know what I mean. If you know someone with cold feet, this is a great gift for them! My Honey loves his set and wears them quite often during the cooler months. He also used the booties with cold packs when his feet were really swollen. This set is very easy to use, comes well packaged in a neat, see through plastic carrying case with a handle on the top. The material reminds me of a blanket you get on a Delta flight but much softer and much less scratchy. I would highly recommend them, especially if you have extremely cold feet. These booties fit his size 10 feet and also fit my women's size 7 comfortably.
These Bed Buddies are terrific for warming up cold feet. My legs will often start to ache by the end of the day and I have started to look forward to the time when I can throw these into the microwave and finally relax. Warming my feet really helps with my aching legs. My only complaint and the reason I took off 1 star is that you really do have to stay in one place once you put them on. They aren't designed to walk around in. If you know that going in, you just plan to sit still for a few wonderful minutes while these Footies do their work. Like I said, I really look forward to the end of the day when I can sit down with these warm booties on and just relax for a few minutes.

OK People! Think about it for just a few seconds. Rice grains in baggy in sole of fleece footy. Of course you cannot walk in them! None of the rice type,-heat in microwave booties can be walked in. these are for sitting and resting or for when going to bed. Do not purchase for elderly who may try to walk in them or people with any loss of feeling in their feet as youn can over heat the rice grains and burn the skin.
I purchased for someone with large feet and the extra room was needed. The rice can be shifted around after heating and to prolong the heat, cover with towel or put bed covers over them. Use with thin inner sock, so when you need to get up you can slip off the footies.
There are several other makers of a similar item but the cost can go as high as $50 so weigh all the options.
My feet have been cold since I can't remember, so I bought these things ...I sit at a desk all day so I'm cool with the fact that you really can't walk around in these things...
I wasn't impressed at first till I started pushing the microwave time to around 2-3 minutes...
Starting to really like them...the only reason I don't give it a 5 is that you can't really move around in them and it's a bit of a hassle to take the rice bags out and put them back every time you want zap them.
I was looking for something that would take the chill out of my toes on thos freezing NY winter nights. This was the answer. Although you cant really walk around in them (someone should invent these where the heated packets are on top of the toe area)...they are great when sitting on the couch watching TV - if your feet stick out from under your blanket...it does not matter: you are toasty and warm. These were also nice at night: I put them on just before crawling into bed, and they warmed up the foot end of the bed. (Although I hate hot feet at night, and had to kick them off mid-way...they were great at the onset).
like other booties i've had, these can't be worn around the house, but you put them in microwave for a minute, slug them on your feet while watching tv, or in bed, and within minutes your entire body is warm, and your feet are happy, happy, happy! The material is a little thin, so i rated it 4 stars, not knowing how long they will last. But if they are like any of the others on the market, you'll have them 5 or 10 yrs from now.
Nothing not to like! I ordered them for my son for his dorm room, he warms them up and is toasty almost all night.
