Gerbing 12V Hybrid Heated Insoles

I've been riding with these down to 35F or so at highway speeds. I don't have a proper foot fairing, just cylinder heads that semi obstruct the wind randomly, but not significantly.

I haven't needed to max the innersoles out yet - they actually burn my feet on max and I turn them down. They work as you'd expect, and are still comfortable to walk in for reasonable periods of time.

If you are running a Gerbing heated jacket make sure you use a dual zone controller. I find that my foot and jacket temps are totally unrelated.

It's nice that they toss in the extension cables to run from your jacket or bike to your shoes. You run this cable through your pants so that your boots can connect to the bottom of your pants. Or, buy their heated pants, although I once had them and found them to be overkill for the temps I'm riding in (lowest 20F or so).

In terms of sizing I bought the XXL innersoles for my US 12 / metric 46 feet. The sizing was good and I did not need to trim the innersoles, however they do have an area marked off on the top of the innersole as safe to trim (i.e. you won't cut off electrical wiring).

Don't forget to do the math on your bike's charging system and don't overrun it with heated gear. Otherwise you'll be feeling great beating the weather and riding for hours... until you try to restart your bike at a stop and the battery was dead. Consider having a voltmeter installed so you know what's going on if you plan to do significant riding.

Performs better then expected. Have been riding the Strom in Ontario Canada last month and Feb 2016 at -8C/17F for one hour durations and my soles were hot and had to turn the controller down. At -10C/14F for 30min my feet were warm at full power. Only issue is the power lead can be uncomfortable if not routed inseam behind the ankle. To prevent the connector from falling into the boot I pass it through the pull loop of my SIDI Adventure Boots. Hopefully the lead and connector can take the abuse of multiple connections and provide a decent lifespan.

I just finished a 35 mile commute to work at highway speeds and a temp of 21 degree F. This was my first opportunity to try out the Gerbing insoles since purchase and I'm very satisfied. I was also using a Gerbing jacket liner and gloves. Once I removed the insoles from my Cruiserworks Boots and slipped the Gerbing insoles in the fit was accurate and comfortable. Heat from the insoles took somewhat longer to generate than with the jacket liner or gloves, but once up to heat the insoles proved their worth. It was a bit of a hassel running the cords down my pant legs to hook up the insoles to my jacket liner but I might solve that by springing for the Gerbing pant liner with its built in attachment. I have used a Gerbing jacket liner and gloves for many years now and the insoles are an excellent addition. I just don't know why I took so long in purchasing them. Highly recommended.

My name is Spock & I have had these heated foot pads for about 3 weeks now & have had a good chance to test them in some cold wether. 2 weeks ago I rode to PA from Long Island . The run started in 23 degree temps & never got over 29 for the whole trip. My feet were warm as toast with out any hot spots. The only time I felt cold was when we weren't riding LOL

I just completed a 9 day road trip and used the heated insoles frequently in ambient air temperatures down to 32F. This is my first experience with heated gear but not my first experience with riding in freezing temperatures. They definately made the ride more comfortable but I'll probably replace them with heated socks (once my size is available) since I won't have to deal with taking the insoles in and out of my boots.

Great product, easy to put into any shoes/boots you usually wear by swapping with your current insoles. There are clear markings at the end for how much you can trim to fit before you'll damage the wiring. I used these insoles and gerbing glove liners with just an on/off control riding for 8 hours in 20* weather (interstate) on a bike with no fairing...and hands/feet stayed warm. Nice product for the price!

Absolutely, love these insoles. I use to have heated socks and they actually burnt the top of my foot (and I even had a temp. controller). I had to stop and take them off. Don't you know that was fun on a very cold day on the side of the road. Anyway, I bought these a few weeks ago and have ridden with them twice now and they are FANTASTIC! Heated perfectly and kept my whole foot warm. I was concerned when I first ordered them that the tops of my feet might get cold but this wasn't the case. Buy them....you won't regret it.

I have them hooked them up off the bottom of the Gerbing jacket liner and they seemed to work pretty well but you don't feel the heat as quickly as on the jacket. Overall good stuff. Nice to have warm feet. I will probably try a Gerbing splitter and connected on the Gerbing glove circuit to see if they will heat up quicker. They may end up being too hot though, because I have to turn the gloves up so much. I will just have to see.

I run these insoles on an older heated vest with the power distribution unit in the vest. I have a one-zone controller. They work fine and look durable. They keep my feet comfortable. I did not need to trim them to fit my size 44 boots; the sizing chart was accurate. I first tried them out on a 6-hour drive in temperatures in the mid to high 30s. It still had to stop to warm up, but I no longer need to stop because of cold feet. This product will extend your driving range in cold weather. It was easy to replace the fuse on the controller wire.

I ordered this after not being able to get the Gerbing socks to fit right. Even though they only heat the bottom, the insoles keep my feet warm during my rides (I wear uninsulated leather boots and ride a bike with no fairings). While I won't be going on any ruck marches, the insoles are comfortable enough to walk around a motorcycle show. I see no reason these won't last for seasons to come. As far as fit, I did not have to trim the insoles even though I wear a size 12 and ordered the 2XL.
