I'm thinking of replacing my 15 year old Gerbing's liners. I see they have stopped making socks and only have heated insoles. Has anyone any experience with the insoles?
Thanks,

I expect you're right--insoles will work better than heated grips--but mainly because your feet are always in contact with the bottom of your boot, whereas your fingers are sometimes not even in contact with the grips (and then there's the glove in between...)I think that the "walking on the wires" probably played into Gerber switching insoles for socks. Since heat rises, and the insoles are in a confined space, I imagine that they'll work better than grip warmers (which are on my list to install, when I get around to it.)
I use insoles from hotronic.com. They work because your toes need inperceptable heat to keep the circulation going to the extremity - the toes. They keep my feet nice and toasty down to at least 18 degrees F. They do this not with creating heat for the foot but rather keeping a heat source under the toes to keep the warm circulation flowing.I'm thinking of replacing my 15 year old Gerbing's liners.

If it's cold enough to warrant the heated insoles, I imagine that you'll already have the heated pant liners on. The insoles plug into the pants at the cuff; it's no hassle at all. I run the insole wires up the inboard side of my boot, and just tuck the connector into my bootlaces if I'm not wearing the pant liners (like when I stop for meals.) You'll forget that you have them in/on.How big a PITA is routing the wires for heated footware? I'm considering adding insoles to the arsenal. willy
I love the fact that Jeff Gerbing is on the first page of the website posing with (presumably) his ST. Note that it's the the fastest one!If you don't have the pants or pants liner you have to run a wire down the legs of your riding suit. see www.gerbing.com for details on their product.

So, yes that is his ST...
I'm thinking of buying some Gerbing heated insoles too. I have a dual heat controller. How do you connect the insoles to my Gerbing Gloves and Gerbing (Generation 1) Jacket Liner? Also, where did you purchase your set?I have a pair. I've only used them a couple of times, but they seem to work well. They slip in my boots in place of the original insoles, and the cord doesn't seem noticeable. They're also comfortable to walk on, as the wires under your feet are buried in the insole. I think that they'll work best with leather boots (as opposed to a fabric & leather combination) as the heat rises to surround your foot.
