Battery-operated heated socks from Ideas In Motion, made of a cotton-spandex fleece blend with a battery pouch strapped around the top of each sock. Each sock runs on 3 AA batteries (not included) and is rated for up to 5 hours of continuous heat. They are meant to keep feet warm rather than hot, with the maker advising you to switch them on only once you feel cold and to cycle them off and on. The design is basic: an external battery box on a velcro strap, no remote or heat settings, and a low average rating from owners.

Ratings average 3.1 out of 5 from 21 buyers, so reception is lukewarm. Complaints center on weak or uneven heat and the bulky battery pack, while some owners find them fine for light warmth.
These battery-operated heated socks are made to keep feet warm, not hot. Each sock has a wire that plugs into a battery box. The box sits in a pouch that wraps around the top of the sock with straps and a velcro closure. The design is unisex.
To use them, put 3 AA batteries in the battery box and close it. Plug the sock wire into the box and switch it to ON. Secure the box in the pouch with the velcro closure, pull on the sock, and wrap the pouch around the top of the sock with the straps. Turn the heat on only after your feet start to feel cold, and switch it off and on as needed. Don't overheat your feet. If you wear two pairs of socks, put the heated pair next to the skin.
Switch the socks off and remove the batteries when not in use. Do not machine dry, hand dry or towel dry them, and do not wring them. Diabetics, people with extreme circulation problems, and anyone sensitive to direct heat on the skin should not use this product.
