DryGuy BootGlove Boot Covers

I ski 60+ days a year and like staying out till i'm starving.I wear expensive, snug high performance ski boots.the liners are not what you would call plush but boot fits great.with fancy custom footbeds, i don't have anyroom for toe warmers on cold days.and up to 300 bucks for boot heaters that require cutting my footbeds, cutting my liners, no longer being able to remove footbeds from liners to dry them out on warm days and wires and batteries and chargers and 300 bucks!no thanks.i put these on at the start of the day - easy on and off.keep my toes warm warm warm and dry till lunch.then i take them off and i usually take my boots off and relax wearing hand gloves on feet.then back on and warm till end of day.best bang for buck out there if you have cold toes!i like black but if they came in a variety of colours, then you could have some fun too...

I finally got to use it. My wife refused to because she says they are ugly. My son used it as it fits his boots too. He said he was still cold. Maybe it helped get an extra two runs.

It works for a couple of hours. Most of the time I don't bother though.

Great product, Thank you!

I generally like this product but it has a major flaw.The product is pretty easy to put on, and it does keepyour feet warm in cold weather. The insulating effectis superior (and more comfortable, too) to insertingchemical toe warmers into your boot. There's also anice side benefit, that is, the glove shields the bootbuckles and top surface from snow and grime.Be sure to get the right size for your ski boot, becauseif you get, say, the Medium for a small boot, the bootglove will appear to fit but the front edge will slipdown onto the lip of the boot. That makes it hard toclip into your bindings.The major flaw is that the cloth securing strap thatgoes underneath the boot wears out too quickly. Thisstrap is positioned about under the ball of your foot,and thus makes direct contact with the ground when youwalk in your boots. For a purely recreational skierwho stays mostly clipped in, the strap may hold up fora sufficient time. I'm a Ski Patroller, and I have todo a fair amount of walking while wearing my boots. Inmy case, the straps have nearly severed from wear afteronly two days of use. The bottom strap needs to bemade of a more durable material, and/or moved back towardsthe heel where it could rest in the hollow of the bottomof the boot.I added a photo which shows the front bottom strap madeas installed by the manufacturer (left side of photo) , comparingit to a rubber strap I replaced it with (right side of photo). Theoriginal strap is some sort of cloth and my replacement strapis a rubber material made by a company called TOPY. I'vefound that the TOPY rubber strap is virtually impervious toweather and wear. If you decide to do a similar modification,be aware that I also increased the length from 4" to 4.5".

I'm a ski instructor and am on the snow every day there is snow. When my feet get cold it makes it's very hard to consentrate on my lessons. During my first year as an instructor I had a lot of difficulty with my feet getting cold. A fellow instructor suggested I get a pair of Bootgloves and they helped a lot. I think an old roommate might have ended up with my last pair, which is why I'm buying a new set.It's important to keep in mind if you are struggling with cold feet that there are a lot of different factors in keeping your feet warm than just slipped these on the outside of your ski boots. Making sure you have a proper fit in your ski boots as well as appropriate ski socks (thicker is not better) are the first steps you should take.The exterior of boots are often different sizes, which is why the scale might not be accurate for your particular boots. I have a pair of Nordica F3s size 26.5 and they fit perfectly. I also have a pair of old rental boots that are the same size but a lot wider and the boot gloves don't fit. In my opinion, the sizing chart is for high performance low profile boots. If you have wider boots, try buying boot gloves sized for boots a size bigger.Hope this helps. See you on the slopes!

This is a great product that really works. It's been reviewed thoroughly here but I'll add a few points. First, make sure that your boots are somewhat warm when you put them on to get the best performance out of them. Second, I'm wear a size 9 boot and medium as specified by the manufacturer is somewhat small... I will go with the large next time. Third, consider getting the full DryGuy boot kit that includes the reflective tape for the toe cap of your liner ... I'd say it was a critical part of the functionality of the covers. Lastly, the bottom webbing strap is the chief failure point and it cannot withstand a lot of wear from walking around on hard surfaces. Most skiers may not have this problem, but as a ski patroller, the straps are unavoidably subjected to walking on hard, dirty surfaces whenever I have a case that requires that I head to the treatment room. With about 30-40 ski days per year, I have to replace these every year. Which I dutifully do because they really do work ... even when teaching patrol candidates on the hill when temps are -10degF and we instructors are just standing around while the kiddies play. I hope that the designer/manufacturer comes up with a more robust version ... perhaps kevlar straps would solve this problem. Sport skiers shouldn't traverse the parking lots with the covers on ... wait until you get onto the snow (they are very easy to put on). Happy skiing!

Sadly, I didn't have the opportunity to try these multiple times this ski season but wore them for many hours on a 3 day ski trip to NY in February. My boots are good quality, appropriately fitted, with the recommended thin or medium ski socks and my feet are ALWAYS cold if the temp is below about 25 or so, even when skiing hard. Temps were in the teens, single digits with wind during our trip with clouds every day. I didn't change any other variable and my feet were warmer. I can't come to any other conclusion than they did help some. Not used enough to determine how long they will last. Ordered a large and wear a womens ski boot for a size 9-10 foot. The fit was fine. They were not difficult to place over the boots and I definitely paid attention to the fit around the bindings. No issues there. For the price, I think they were worth a try. Reputable boot fitters have discouraged using the heaters so this was a decent option. My feet weren't warm but more tolerable than usual.

I have used boot heaters for very cold weather for many years. While they function fine, they have several drawbacks. Price, battery failure, need to recharge, and easy to lose or damage batteries. In this especially cold winter I was able to compare these BootGloves to my battery heaters. I found that they are fine for temperatures in the mid-single digit range. My feet feel cold but not painfully so in that range. Above 15 degrees F I am OK without any supplemental protection. So you can judge by that. For temps below 5 degrees F, I think it would be good to use heaters. I use Cat Tracks, so the puny band on the bottom of the Glove is protected from wear. If you walk on it, it will soon break, but you can replace it with duck tape if that happens. This is a cheap alternative to more effective but pricey battery powered boot heaters.

I really like these boot covers. I use them for skiing in the Pacific Northwest when there is a lot of powder or the winds are strong. This is a really simple way to keep your feet warmer without buying expensive electric heaters. Two important points 1. They do run small. I have size 23.5 boots and the first pair I had was a small. They wore out rather quickly because I pulled the strap at a funny angle so they would fit. 2. For some bindings you may have to trim them. As is they didn't work out of the box with an old pair of Screams that had an integrated binding. I could've trimmed them, but I rarely use those skis. Overall, I think they are a great product. I bought a repackaged pair (even cheaper) and thought they were fine. I did get them in medium this time though.

Get them now. If you are even considering it they are a game changer for cold days. I don't think they look dorky, and if they do, I don't care because my feet stay significantly warmer. I did not believe it until I tried them. You will not regret this purchase. Can't comment about quality, I have only used one season. If they fell apart on the first day of ski season I would but another pair. I'm a Vermont skier, roughly about 35 days a year

Deffinitly work. I have the rubber boot savers so you can walk and protect your boot at the same time. there called yaktrax skitrax. they save the bottom strap so I don't have the issue with it wearing off when I walk on concrete. If you don't have both products then your missing out.

Helps keep feet warm but not very durable. It says not to wear in the parking lot etc. and they are correct. I have a small foot and the small size boot glove fit but was stretched too tight and only lasted part of one season. This year I purchased a medium size so that I wouldn't stretch it too far. A bit of a sloppy fit and it will barely make it through the season. Too bad, because I really think these are a great help in keeping feet warm.I just hate to buy each season. That is why I gave only 3 stars.

I tried two days of skiing in a row, once without and once with the boot gloves. I'm the type of person who always has cold hands and feet when I ski no matter what I try. I felt like these added about +5F to my feet. My toes still got cold, but I think there was a noticeable improvement. +5 is less than the description promises (+20), but for me even a little bit helps a lot with my comfort. I definitely plan to continue using these until the day when I finally purchase electric boot heaters, and maybe even then.For sizing, I wear a size 6 women's shoe, and I purchased the Medium size boot glove
