When the cold hits, your feet are the first to suffer. Whether you're out on the slopes or grinding through a sub-zero commute, a reliable heated foot insert can mean the difference between comfort and cutting your day short.
But traditional thermal shoe inserts often rely on single-use materials, creating unnecessary waste for a solution people genuinely need.
That’s why we re-engineered the product from the inside out.
The new ELOS Heating Insole maintains everything users loved about the original—targeted warmth, ease of use, and comfort—while significantly reducing material waste. It’s the same essential function, now designed to serve you and the environment with less impact.
Why the Redesign Matters—Now More Than Ever
If you’ve noticed shorter ski seasons, thinner snowpack, and more unpredictable winters—you’re not imagining it. Climate data confirms what the outdoor community already knows:
- The average U.S. ski season is now 5–10% shorter than it was 50 years ago.
- 2023 was the warmest year on record, with many western U.S. regions reporting below-average snowpack.
- Over 50% of North American ski resorts are at risk of losing consistent snow seasons by 2050 (Protect Our Winters).
Winter sports—and the gear that supports them—must adapt. That includes how we build products that are meant to be used in and depend on these conditions.
🔄 From Disposable to Modular: The New ELOS System
The original ELOS Heating Insole was effective, but fully disposable. Every unit used meant one more product in the landfill.
The ELOS Heating Insole reimagines that system with a modular approach: the insole itself is reusable, and only the toe warmer packet is swapped out as needed.
Key Innovations That Make ELOS Better
This is more than a sustainability update—it’s a full performance upgrade:
- Reusable Orthotic Shell: Made from high-density, trim-to-fit foam for long-term use and custom comfort.
- Swappable Heat Packet: Rib-and-baffle design locks into place with secure forefoot placement.
- Ventilation Channels: Built-in airflow improves moisture management for longer, drier wear.
- Clip-In Retainer System: Keeps the packet stable even in snug footwear like ski boots.
Together, these features create a reliable heated shoe insert for real cold environments, without the bulk or waste of traditional systems.
♻️ Reducing Waste at Every Step
We didn’t remove disposables—we reduced how much gets thrown away. By separating the heating function from the support structure, we’ve significantly decreased the amount of material discarded with each use. Only the small heat packet is replaced.
This change results in:
- Lower material usage per session
- Less plastic and foam waste
- A longer-lasting, better-value product
It’s not just better for the planet—it’s smarter for anyone using heated footwear consistently throughout winter.
Built for People Who Actually Need It
The ELOS Heating Insole isn’t designed for occasional novelty use—it’s for those who face cold daily:
- Skiers and snowboarders needing a reliable heated ski boot insert
- Outdoor workers in freezing temps
- Commuters trekking through slush and snow
- Athletes and recovery users requiring heat to support blood flow and comfort
This is warmth with purpose—delivered through a smarter system.
Reliable Heat. Less Waste. Built for a Changing Winter.
The new ELOS Heating Insole is launching this winter. It’s still warm. Still durable. Still ready for whatever the cold throws your way. But now, it’s built smarter—with reduced waste, improved performance, and a clear focus on the future.
Because winter is worth protecting—and staying warm shouldn’t come at its expense.
