Beurer FW20UK Electric Foot Warmer for Cold Feet - Grey, 3 Heat Settings, Soft Teddy Fleece Lining, Breathable & Washable, Fits Up to Shoe Size 12.5 | Perfect for Winter Nights, Office Use & Home Comfort

My use:I get freezing cold feet (especially toes) both at home and at work. I've previously tried heated socks but these have been uncomfortable - too tight and you can feel the wires and battery packs, let-alone the fact that mine were faulty and the socks often cost more than these alternatives (approx £50-£80). Also slippers just don't cut it, especially this time of year (November 2023).Price:£38 not on offer seemed quite expensive and I'd be surprised if certain German supermarkets don't come up with a cheaper version priced for £20-£30, however I have other Beurer products like their heat pads which I rate. That said, I couldn't beat the price delivered elsewhere online.Comfort:The material is padded (less than 1cm) but looks like good quality - the same material as the heated pads they use and you can feel the heat on the outside but not the heat is never hot enough to burn yourself like you might with a hot water bottle.It has a thinnish sheeps wool lining which does provide some comfort and warmth. You can feel the seam in the fleecy lining in the middle (between your feet) but it's not so apparent that it's uncomfortable. The lining is separate so the top can overhang the top of the boot and move about slightly. This is obviously so that the lining can be washed to keep the item clean (inside).I often raise my feet off the cold floor in a recliner chair and also have a blanket over the top of me. This helps as if the rest of your body is warm then it's easier to keep warm, however having the boot on the floor lets you feel the heat more.*Because of this I think it would help to have a more padded bottom so you don't feel the floor as easily. Maybe give it a rubber bottom and add some padding between this and the material to avoid shielding the foot from heat.Heat:Other have complained that they feel no heat - I would send back possibly as it might be faulty as I have found this to be great.Yes level 3 is the best, but my feet get so warm in this that I have to turn it down at times (not burning hot, just overly warm).It heats up very quickly and seems to come from all directions (mainly the bottom and the top) which is especially good for warming your toes.Size:Roomy enough for even the biggest feet (unless you're over size 11 I would guess).I'm a male size 9 and have no problems. I can slide my feet side to side and forwards and backwards with at least 1" in every direction which will help warm them further with the fleecy lining. There is enough room above my foot because of the boot-like design. Whilst it helps if I raise my toe area inside the boot to get the most from the heat, I think if it were a tighter fit it would be uncomfortable for people with bigger feet etc.Lead:Length is easily long enough for me with a plug near the side of my recliner chair. The leads comes from the centre of the back of the boot so can run either side. Unlike the beurer pads this is wired directly and cannot be unplugged, other than from the socket itself.47cm to the controller and over 1m to the plug.Controller:This is the same as beurer's other products, robust, easy to use, lights up the number in use. Turns off after a length of time and you just switch to 0 and back up to 3 or whatever number and it starts heating again.Overall:Although there are some cheaper brands out there which may do a similar job, I would recommend this product and I still trust beurer more. If these drop in price I'll get another for my mum.If you find this review helpful then please *like*.
