Boot Heater Install

Recommended Posts

So I scored these Therm-ic boot heaters off Tramdock during the summer and when I went to install them, I wasn't happy with the stock footbeds. I got the elements that you can add to an existing footbed and I'm glad I waited.

 

Anyway, here's the pics I took.

 

My boots (Nordica Speed Machine 12)

Duct tape to secure the wire

This covers the element. It has an adhesive backing.

Trimmed to fit

Cut a slit in the boot liner to stick the wire through

I eventually, taped the wire up the back of the liner, and where the wire comes through but didn't get a pic of it.

Finished!

I did use them yesterday, but it was pretty in the mid-30's. Can't wait to try them for some night skiing soon!

Nice writeup. Those will be sweet in VT. Those heaters + Intuition liners would be like a sweat lodge in Arizona...

 

intuition liners are like ovens for your feet. no heaters needed.

 

I have to Hotronics M4's. Been using them for over a year and couldn't ski in my Langes without them. Never leave home without them :yes
