Boyfriends across the globe are the main victims of cold feet. Not their own of course, but their partner’s, whose ice-cold trotters are regularly plunged onto their vulnerable bare skin in an attempt to warm up.
If you are said boyfriend, then we have the solution to this nippy debacle. Electric foot warmers are affordable, effective devices to heat feet in a jiffy. Not only do they resemble fluffy variations of MSCHF’s viral Big Red Boots, making them undeniably adorable, but they coat the foot in instant warmth, marking the end of sub-zero girlfriend tootsies' reign of terror.
Electric feet heaters feature a selection of temperature options, automatic safety shut-off times and fleece linings that offer uber-soft cushioning. The majority can also be popped in the washing machine for a good clean after wear. Perfect for those with circulation issues such as Raynards, these furry monofins promise both comfort and relief during the depths of winter.
Slip yours on when working from home or brave a few odd looks in the office if you’re set on staying toasty no matter the environment. The super-sized baby booties would also come in handy for post-outdoor swims, at-home après ski and mountainous camping expeditions.
The sheer ridiculousness of the devices only adds to their charm. Available in a range of colours and designs from classic grey stocking silhouettes to candy pink, bunny-themed mermaid tails, electric foot heaters are a grand topic of conversation among bewildered flatmates.
Plus, they aren’t hard to get your hands on. Brands such as M&S, Boots, John Lewis and Debenhams stock the unintentionally comedic items, which might we add, would make for an excellent Valentine’s Day gift.
Discover the best electric feet heaters and sink your toes into a soothing bed of warming bliss.
