Heated sock buying basics

How we pick

Check the recalls first

Recalled: Fieldsheer MWMS07, MWWS07, MWMS05 (CPSC 25-423) and 32 Degrees socks.

Room in your boots

The battery rides at the cuff: check the boot shaft.

Plan for the low setting

Long, still days run on low: read hours per setting.

Washing

Battery off first; the care label decides.

Questions

Heated sock questions owners ask

Have any heated socks been recalled?

Yes. CPSC recalled Fieldsheer heated socks MWMS07, MWWS07 and MWMS05 in August 2025 (recall 25-423), and 32 Degrees heated socks in 2026. Look up any model on cpsc.gov before you buy.

Can you wash heated socks?

Take the battery packs off first and follow the care label; never put a pack in water.

Heated socks or heated insoles?

Socks wrap the toes as well as the foot; insoles warm the sole and work with your own socks. Our comparison weighs the two for long, still days.
