I have done the DIY Reflectix insoles with hiking boots, and agree that they are best for in camp. They wear down quickly when hiked on. Does give a noticeable boost to temperature.

The feel of the Yak Trax insoles is better (not as noisy) and I think they last longer, but I’m definitely not against dirtbagging it!

In reply to Cyndee. A good tip for those in Denver metro area. May not be as handy for others.

In reply to Paul Mags. Quick buy: Surplus Store w/about 5 left in stock yesterday Jan 8. Used them last winter and needed a fresh pair.

Yaktrax ‘Thermal Insole’ might be a choice for a pre-made winter insole. Can be a little difficult to trim to size. Denver area: Surplus Store on Broadway-North of Hampden, Shoe Dept. $4.99.

In reply to Cheri. Simpler and more efficient might be using a VBL system instead. Just make sure you air your feet some point in the morning. Another solution that is effective is simple down booties. Finally, A light fleece around your feet and at the end of the bag also can work.

My feet get very cold at night, while sleeping. Do you think it would help to put the Reflectix in my sleep socks?
