I must lend my support for the heated insoles. I have badly abused feet (previous-multiple frostbites as kid and adult-and Raynauld's) and all the insulation in the world does not keep my feet warm. I would not be out in the winter without my Hotronic's. I use them in an insulated hiking...

Thanks! Thank you all for your informative replies. I saw my MD today-not too much skin damage, just nerves in toes (still numb) I have had scripts for nifidipine in the past but was not diligent about using it on every hike (I have a new script today for 30mgXL which I should be more compliant...

Yes, I have had symptoms of Raynauds for years, usually mild. I have never smoked. It doesn't matter what type of boot I wear or how much insulation it has my feet get cold.

Change of plan Hey HK, Santas sound good to Doreen and I. Justin, you are welcome as well,sounds like you need these as well. (I did these last spring, a few weeks after winter season) Maybe H/B next weekend if all goes well? Just to clarify....the brownies are totally legit.....nothing wacky...

Doreen and I attempted Donaldson and Emmons 1/15/05 but in the interest of time and fatigue turned around near the Donaldson summit (about .5 from summit). I Have some questions about the flagging vs the summer herd path. We followed the flagging to Calkins brook but I'm not sure it is easier...

Sewards There is a chance Doreen and I will try them Jan 15 weather permitting. We need Seward, Donaldson and Emmons. Good Luck to you! Arlene
