Do I have to remove the insoles to charge them or can I leave them in my boots?

Leave them in your boots. You charge via the batteries which fit on the outside of your boots.

Leave them in the boot. when you install the heating element you will run the cord to the back top of the boot. This is where you will plug the battery in & out.

Leave them in. The cord runs up the inside of the boot to the batteries, which are at the top of the boot. That is where the recharging plus is. These are a "no-brainer" to purchase. I know so many people, with all brands and types of boots, who love these.

Remove the inner soles so the heating elements can be placed "correctly" under the ball of the foot.

Leave the insoles right in your boots.. you will recharge the batteries.. super simple.

No, these are just to protect the cleats from when you walk in them. You must remove them prior to riding.

Either or. They aren't that thick, so you can put them on top of the existing insole. However if you want to get rid of the existing pre-installed cushion you can do that too. I actually tried it both ways to find the best fit for me.

You mean without taking your boots off? Depends how large your boots are, but with the typical 6" or 8" boots, I would say you have to take your boots off.

The battery packs come with a wire clip to attach them to your boots. I chose to buy the optional boot strap clips (about $15) which are more secure and easier to remove and replace the battery packs when you are not using them. The clip stays on your boot power strap and the battery clicks on and off of the clip.

I try not to leave them too long after they are done charging, but the times I have (a couple of days)there wasn't a problem. I wouldn't leave them in for weeks, though. I have read somewhere there is a very slight drain over time.

If the dr. Scholl insert makes the shoes too tight, then I will remove the shoes' inserts. Otherwise I just leave it in.

Yes, we recommend removing the original insoles (unless they're very thin) before inserting our product. Thanks!

Yup. I have used this and other products without taking original insole. Works wonderfully for me.

I prefer the chargeable so I can go outside with it to take care of my feet. Don't like having to stick by a plug or doing it inside.

It will depend on what MAh batteriess you use and how discharged they are. I normally just put mine in at night, and take them off in the morning.

You don't need to charge them, when I received mine, they were already pre-charged

You don't really have to remove them off season, but why put them through unnecessary wear and tear or have them damaged or stolen? They are too expensive to ruin. I remove mine after the last frost & store flat, in the basement. They are very easy to plug back in and reconnect. This is assuming that you don't nail them into a wood surface. Mine sit on stone steps, not nailed down.

Yes boots come off. My 9 yr old grand daughter removed them. Keep working, maybe use a warm (not hot) hair blower on them to soften them a little to make them more pliable.

Like others said. Rub it in with bare hands. No extra heat source is needed. It will make your hands feel good too like they just had a lotion bath. I usually let the boots rest for a while and then apply a 2nd coat. Clean the excess off with a clean shoe brush and/or buffing cloth. The boots might retain a waxy/oily feel to them which will go away over time.

Correct. No need for insoles when wearing this. However I use this mostly with slippers in the summer and in cases when insoles just wont work well.

You can do both. I usually charge them, when not using them, in the off position. When I am using them for long periods of time and I notice they are starting to die I will plug them in. Either way is fine though.
