I had initially only tried these a few times under marginal conditions so far because the weather had been warm! But I can say that these generate a gentle pleasant heat that is quite comforting. On much colder days when I am starting to feel chilled regardless of extra clothing, etc, these do seem to help make the chill disappear. From a USB supply as it says on the tin; specified at 5V and 1.6A, that is 8W or the same as a small overhead LED lamp — tiny compared to running the central heating.
Because these insoles are trimmable, and my feet are not small, the heating element at the front runs under the balls of my toes rather than the tips. I will have to see if that works well enough, though I suspect that it will.
I am using these insoles plugged into a USB adaptor in a power socket by my desk, and the supplied (~1.4m) cable is comfortably long enough.
Update : it is below 15°C at my desk this afternoon since our central heating is not on yet, and with these my feet feel like they are defrosted! The price seems to have gone up from the £9.78 that I paid in to £14.64, and there is at least one alternative shown at under £4.
