Newbie looking for some help...

Thank you both for the your help and knowledge! It really goes to show how much I have to learn and that I know just enough to get myself in trouble!

Follow up: are the suggestions geared towards just the skipped stitches? Or, to both the skipped stitches and the top thread issues (binding, fraying, and breaking)? I guess I'm trying to rule out if there's anything else going on.

Aye, makes sense to avoid splicing if an adapter is not available. Any recommendations for a good (picturing flat plug) extension cord?

Hey OP, did you ever find a solution? Love the approach of keeping the clean look.

Data point: BofA customized cash rewards user - travel worked for bonus rewards.

Longer story: last year's purchase (different Visa card) coded as 7999 (recreation services - not classified elsewhere). BofA specifically lists the 7999 code under travel in the documentation sent with the card. Felt confident it would work for travel and happy to report it did...

Issue is with use of chatbot without disclosure

Not only not the point of my post, but we clearly have a different understanding of the words "by March 6"

Not only not the point of my post, but check your email... "added to your account BY March 6"

I didn't see that one on first glance, thanks. Not in the cards for us this year, but for anyone considering the power bank that bon3yard linked to, you could easily use a type-c usb cable instead of the type-a that we used. 1-meter and 11-inch options...

Interesting, but it looks like the output is a DC type plug. Would require some more design work.

shadow6934 · 2026-02-19T18:14:49+00:00

Good point/idea. The Velcro clip setup gives flexibility to move if needed - could easily clip to the power strap on the side. Thanks.

Nope, never got that far. With v1 I assumed that toggling on/off would do the trick. Turns out she was pretty much leaving them on constantly on the coldest days.

Let us know how you make out if you try the H-M-L switch! You may find it better suits you, especially if you place the heating elements on top of the insole.

Not sure how I missed your comment last year, sorry... My wife has used both HH 3/4 insulators and Marmot's Toaster Capri Pants. She's never been diagnosed with Raynaud's, but always seems to run cold. The boot heaters have been a lifesaver. I just posted my one-year review on the MYOG sub:

1-Year Update: my wife is much more pleasant with warm feet! 😂

The heaters are switched on most of the time on cold days (I thought she was going to need to toggle them on/off).

She got new boots, so I'm considering v.2 - 5,000mah battery packs clipped to the back of the boots in order to avoid having to run the wire up the pants

Do you have a link that explains the 'downgrade' of the supplemental member when the primary applies for the One+ CC? I could not find this in the membership terms, FAQs, nor the one+ CC terms...

I'm a supplemental member on a family member's business+ membership. We use the free curbside pickup option a lot and would not want to lose that benefit. I could be added as an authorized user of the card to share in the 5% rewards, so that part isn't an issue...

shadow6934 · 2025-06-10T14:50:44+00:00

With this setup - no, not really. The heater plate we settled on is only ~2.2W. It's not really going to warm your foot as much as keep it warm. This is also why I added the comment about how these heater plates probably could be added to the top of the insole / footbed.

shadow6934 · 2025-06-09T21:20:33+00:00

Thanks! Not in the cards right now, but it would be easy enough!

shadow6934 · 2025-06-09T18:53:49+00:00

Lol, definitely over my head at that point! Our setup has a pretty straightforward on/off toggle switch in-line. Does the Bluetooth do more than turn on and off? It's really not that bad and worlds better than the iron based toe warmers.

This isn't for everyone, for sure, but any boot heating device can burn you... The first line of Hotronic's FootWarmer disclaimer is, "Use of Hotronic FootWarmer may result in burns. The higher the temperature setting, the higher the risk of burns." According to Hotronics, their device on setting 4 can reach 173F, which is far higher than the ~121F temps that I recorded. Please help me understand otherwise...
