Unlike electrically heated insoles powered by batteries, their “relatives” Climfeet insoles manufactured by Solecooler (France) – receive energy directly from the feet of the wearer. The principle of their work is based on the use of mechanical energy generated by walking.
There are heating/cooling elements on both sides of the insoles and the user places the insole on the correct side depending on the weather.
How it works: when the user steps on the insole, the bubble capsules on the “cool” side compress and push air into the cells on the “warm” side, creating a 4 °C heating effect.
When the foot is lifted off the surface, the air returns back to the cells on the “cool” side, where it cools by 3.5 °C. As the user only feels the temperature of the upper part of the insole, they can adjust it to the weather.
The Climfeet structure is a combination of copper and silicone that provides flexibility and effective thermoregulation. The air cells provide cushioning and walking comfort in addition to their primary function.
