Portable, rechargeable slippers. My icy feet can finally endure winter in comfort.
These heated slippers are so great! They are wonderful to settle back & relax in the warmth they provide<br /><br />But that's also where one of their drawbacks becomes apparent. When my slippers arrived I made sure to fully charge their battery packs & then settled down to enjoy their heat. Turning on the TV, I tilted back in my recliner to enjoy the evening. Now, I don't know about you, but when I lie back in the recliner I often cross my legs at the ankles. Doing that, the on/off button that is normally on the outside of each foot ends up pressed against the other slipper's on/off button. And yes, I didn't even notice it until I felt like my toasty toes weren't being toasted so much anymore. The slight shifting I'd done in my chair had turned my 'high' setting down to 'medium' on one foot & to 'low' on the other. It's a minor thing, but I wish there was some way to set the on/off button switch so it can't accidentally be changed by such a minor bumping.<br /><br />My other minor quibble is with the relative 'run' time of the batteries. I like toasty feet and at the highest heat setting the instructions say I shouldn't really expect more than 2-2½ hours of use. If I'm in front of the TV for a marathon binge I can certainly spend more than 2½ hours in one evening.<br /><br />Now, with that info, I explored Amazon to see if there were any questions about ordering replacement or supplemental battery packs. No questions, but a search for 'Kamlif battery' brought up just the 2-pack spare batteries that I was hoping for. As I write this they sell for $26.99. I ordered a set just so I can relax knowing that if/when one set runs down, I can replace them immediately with the back-up set.<br /><br />With those slight drawbacks known, I can wholeheartedly recommend these slippers if you suffer from chronic cold feet.
