Heated insoles

Man is a homeotherm: a living being whose average, constant temperature is independent of the surrounding environment...

Resisting the cold, adapting to the heat, maintaining an internal temperature of around 37°C at all times, whatever our metabolic rate or the temperature of the surrounding environment: this is the principle of thermoregulation.

When a person is exposed to the cold for too long, their body may become unable to maintain an adequate temperature to function properly. If the oral temperature falls below 35°C, the person is hypothermic.

Hyperthermia, on the other hand, is a rise in body temperature caused by an accumulation of heat. This phenomenon occurs in particular during sunstroke or heatwaves.

Being “too” cold or “too” hot is a source of discomfort, and can even lead to injuries such as frostbite...

Feet and hands are the first limbs affected by the sensation of cold, mainly due to reduced blood circulation at these levels. In addition to a sensation of local cold, this creates a loss of motricity and overall body fatigue.

The brain, alerted by this unpleasant sensation, triggers a surge of energy to warm the hands and feet, without success for the most sensitive.

For example, people suffering from Raynaud's disease (3 to 12% of men and 6 to 20% of women are affected). The result is a feeling of weakness and shivering.

G-Heat has developed its range of heated garments to (re)act when the body can no longer do so, and to prevent the risks associated with the cold, providing continuous warmth and comfort during your activities.

These high-performance garments are ideal for outdoor activities in cold weather, and can even be used without batteries when temperatures remain cool but bearable, but also as comfort aids for anyone suffering from the cold.

The market season also means winter, cold ground behind the stalls, the immobility of the vendor waiting for the customer. Construction workers, craftsmen and farmers are also the first to suffer from frostbite, slowing performance, making work even more exhausting and increasing the risk of illness.

Inclement weather, such as rain and frost, is felt first by the arch of the foot, and can lead to difficulties such as blood circulation problems, or other coronary concerns. Heated insoles provide a thermal barrier against the cold, with optimum comfort thanks to their heat source under the arch of the foot.

G-Heat insoles can be used for sports such as skiing, hunting, fishing or horseback riding... Walking through a damp forest before standing for long hours waiting patiently for game or fish can be hard on the body. With inadequate posture and bone-watering humidity, heated insoles allow you to practice these activities in relative comfort. The same applies to horse riders and skiers, who sometimes spend whole afternoons braving the cold.

The heat diffused under the arch of the foot provides real insulation between the ground and the rest of the body, enabling you to get through long periods of immobility without suffering the pangs of cold or snow.

Whether you're a professional or an individual, heated insoles can be the ideal solution for coping with extreme outdoor temperatures. There's nothing more unpleasant than freezing feet in cold weather. Whether you're a professional, a sportsman or an individual, winter no longer has to be a hindrance to your activity.

G-Heat heated insoles have been specially designed to remedy this problem. Combining comfort, efficiency and simplicity, we now offer you the chance to discover a product that's perfect for outdoor activities, even in the depths of winter.

Fighting the cold is what these products are all about, but you mustn't neglect the comfort of your equipment. That's why all our products have been designed to offer extra comfort. The insoles are specially designed to offer better posture and help blood circulation, sometimes put to the test by freezing weather.

No need to add many layers of clothing to counter the low temperatures, the insoles once inserted in the shoes diffuse a continuous warmth that will help you warm up your whole body.

Before using them for the first time, fully charge the batteries for 12 hours. Thereafter, we recommend recharging your batteries before and after each use, to get the most out of your heated garment.

It's also very important to charge your batteries at the end of each winter season, or before any long period of storage. We strongly recommend charging them at least every 3/4 months.

Hand-wash (or surface-wash) your insoles with warm water and soap or a mild detergent (without fabric softener), after removing the battery. We do not recommend machine washing.

To wring them out and dry them, you'll need a little patience. Don't try to wring them out, or dry them on a radiator or in a tumble-dryer, as you risk damaging the heating systems: that would be a pity!
