Cold feet

I have poor circulation to my feet and use heated insoles when out on the bike in winter. The power pack is very well designed (see photo) and fastens round each ankle. They are a bit old school with removable rechargeable batteries and a 1.35mm socket and I was thinking of getting an new battery pack but unfortunately all new power banks come with USB outlets which is incompatible with the 1.35mm plug of the insoles. Anyone found a power bank with a 1.35mm socket? I know I can replace the whole system but I’m reluctant to do so.

Just found these on Amazon so I will stick to the old system. There is a 50% off offer if you click on the “Redeem” button. SelfTek Heated Insoles USB/Battery Powered Heating Insoles Washable Cuttable Thermal Insoles Winter Foot Warmer For Men Women Indoor Outdoor Sports (Size 35-46)

I have found the best solution to cold feet is to keep the core warm. This means the body doesn't reduce blood flow to the extremities which is why, I believe, we get cold feet.

in general yes but if you have reyanuds you can literally be sweating hot and you extremities can decide to go white if they want too .

I haven’t had a formal diagnosis of Reynauds but my Mother had and no matter how warm my core is my toes are 🥶! I need heated insoles!
