The ONLY reason to have something like this is if you left your boots in the car in which case 10 seconds with a hairdryer will take care of that.  Otherwise the heat naturally given off by your feet will keep said feet warm.  I know this from practical experience living in Minnesota with our sub 0* weather in January-Feb.  Now if you live in Antarctica, sure.  at that point I'd be wearing a freaking space suit to keep warm. :P]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[John Doe..]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 5th 2009 10:42AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Columbia Bugathermo hiking boots are heated, rechargeable]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/columbia-bugathermo-hiking-boots-are-heated-rechargeable/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/05/columbia-bugathermo-hiking-boots-are-heated-rechargeable/</guid><description><![CDATA[Yeah... because everyone has hairdryers in their car... no wait.
