I just picked up a couple pair of these for my Schnees and Burlys from Chuck. They are going to be SUPER!
To test them out, I slapped them into my Crocs yesterday while I was working around home. Talk about luxury, I think I will order a set for my wife's Crocs, she cooed when I had her slip them on ;) They have a nice soft non-itchy feel and kept my feet comfortable all day in the near 90 degree heat while I worked on the honey do list in the yard and garage.
If they can soak up the sweat all day during the summer heat and keep my feet dry and comfortable, I am sure they will be a welcome addition for my bowhunting boots.
Ok Steve, you have my attention.Guess I haven't heard of these.What are they,how do they work and where do you get them?
Yea,I'm interested as well. Where to order and info.Thanks.
Hill Boy,
Look in the sponsor list above for Two Tracks Bow Company. Chuck is a great guy.
Gregg
Chuck "Two Tracks" is a sponsor here. He makes them. Here's a link to his site:

I should have been a bit more thorough...
Two Tracks Wool Boot Insoles (http://www.twotracksbow.com/wool_products.htm)
They just slip in the bottom of your boot and I am anticipating a lot more comfortable hours on stand becase of them!
Gosh, it takes me a long time to type, Tim, you are quick!
Here is a pic of them in my new slippers :D

No worries Steve....I got your back!! :thumbsup:
SteveO,
Are those the thin or thick ones? I was talking to Chuck about getting some. All us Southern thin rubber boot wearers could use the help.
Oh great, there are different thicknesses? Now it is going to cost me double!
These measure 3/16" thick.
Wearing mine right now, everyday. Really makes a huge difference in comfort. For some boots you may need to trim them. They are felted wool like his coats and his can coolers!
Maybe Chuck was talkin bout sizing. :D Don't want to spread misinformation!
Two Tracks Here!
Thanks for all the good words fellas. I will take a minute to say that If you like your feet to stay comfortable, Then you need to keep the sweat under control. The felt insoles will pull the moisture away from you foot keeping you feeling good for longer periods of time. They also add comfort and cusion to any shoe/boot. we tell people to wear them year around for total foot comfort.
We only have one thickness now and that is about 3/16" to 1/4" thick. The cost is $12/pr plus $2.00 shipping for up to 3pr. I am happy you are happy Steve(you to Mike) Thanks
Chuck
Pretty cool! And the attractiv thing to me is that they are WOOL!! I will be ordering some for my Beans.

Nothing better than wool for keeping you in good shape in the wonderful out-of-doors!
I have both the heavy and lighter insoles. The lighter set in my Bean boots and the heavier in my Burleys. Love'em
They are great in my boots and in my old Sketchers :)
I've about worn these out!!!
(http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c210/coaster500/MorroBayWildlife.jpg)
Is there different sizes or do you trim to fit your size?
I second you Chuck.
Those felt insole are like the ones that people used for centuries in Europe,they make a difference!
Thanks Felix,Wool Felt is the 2nd. oldest fabric known to man, animal skins are No.1
David, We have any size needed or we can do a custom size.Our standard sizes have worked for the people with standard or normal sized feet.Extra wide or large feet may need a custom size made. ALL of the insoles can be trimmed to "customize the fit though. All hand made material from our own sheep raised in Ovid,Michigan.
We will get an order to you for some and maybe just pick them up at GLLI if that works for you Chuck. Probably four pair
No problem Tracey, We will be in WI next week with you if want to get then at the PBS event.
PM me your sizes and we can make sure to bring them. Thanks.
Chuck
Chuck, I want 4 more pair too. I'll get them next weekend from you at Ojibwa.
Steve,
Those don't look like new slippers? Been out on the white course at Land O' Lakes?
LF
I've had mine for a year now. Wear them in rubber boots summer and winter. They're great!
Chuck and Chris make some great products. The insoles are awesome. I even got a pair for the Boss. She loves them--also! You guys should see the vests that Chris makes.They are awesome and will last a lifetime or 2. Chuck--Is Chris offering any new wool products? Last time I spoke to her, she was still thinking about making some hats. Peace!
I was just looking at getting some of these last night....How freaky is this post...Thanks for posting all the info and prices. I'll probably be putting in an order later today or by the first of the week. Or maybe I should wait a little bit to find out about the wool hats???
Howdy Mike, Yes we are getting to the hat design. I hope to have it done SOON! but we are very serious about keeping up with our orders and not falling behind too far. As you have seen,Chris works hard to make our material and we have to stay on top of that all the time. Should I ask the loaded question "what kind of hat do you guys want"?
We have a couple ideas we are working on and will see how it goes.
John, Give a call when you are ready. Thanks for looking.
Chuck
Bowman,SteveO See you next week with the goods.
Lefty Fred,Nice talking to ya buddy. Can't wait to see the wood.
Chuck,
I want a stocking hat, no fold over, just a straight beannie cap, no ball on top. Two pair of inserts, 1 mens and 1 ladies size.
Mike
That is one style we are working up Mike,But ours will have the Ball on top! Just teasing,but I think you would look good in that. PM me you insole sizes.
just got my first Two Tracks insoles right before a little snow hit here.
It was like putting heaters in my boots. I have considered buying these for a couple of years now and the only regret I have is that I should've bought them when I first thought about it!!
These are great. I have issues with cold feet hunting and these are going to be a big help.
Thank you Two Tracks!
As good as they are in the winter to keep your feet warm,they work great all summer long in a work boot.
George
Just Ordered Mine!! Thanks Chuck!!
:biglaugh: :biglaugh: :biglaugh:
I just read the initial post. Still troubled by those 90 degree temps, Steve?
They pretty much add 200 gr to your boot warmth rating but more than that they put it where its most needed at the bottom of your foot. Got them in all my boots. I put some in my old LL Beane Maine style boots that are 35 yrs old and the comfort level increased three fold. Like I got a new pair of boots. Home raised and handcrafted by Chris. Think Chuck might help too.
Alright- you guys talked me into it!!!!
This is another one of those threads that cost me $. Thanks again Chuck.
Been using them for years now and like George said they're great year round. Get a few pair so after a hunt you can let one set dry and start with fresh ones the next day.
I use mine all the time in my size 15 Burlys. Never thought about pulling 'em out for my Crocs :) Good Stuff!
These sound great!
How much room do they take up in the boots?
example....if I had a pair of boots comfortable with 2 pr of socks, will these make them too tight to wear the 2nd pair of sox?
just wondering....sound like just the ticket for standing on cold metal platforms :clapper:
First I'll second the insoles. I tried them this fall. Added comfort and warmth for sure.
Chuck,...regarding a hat....something with a short bowman brim would be good. :archer:
I tried the insoles and string scallops . Love em both and super fast delivery.
I have GOT to get me some some these!
Curt
I have not noticed a difference that would affect what socks I could wear but I wear my boots loose so I may not be a good judge. I found tight boots were colder.
Hopefully some other guys will chime in

I was in Montana all week hunting mountain lion. Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday when I left my truck it was -20, -20, and -21. When we got BACK to the truck Friday after chasing a tom till about 3pm it had warmed up to -17. And those are F not C! I had my Two Tracks insoles in my Schnee Hunters and was very glad I did.
Curt--they don't take up any room at all really. The are not very thick and pack down after they wear in. I'd not worry about that in the least.
I'm gonna have to try some of these. Should have bought some at the GLLI this past summer.

Just ordered me two pairs gonna give em a try my feet got cold yesterday in PA.
Another thread on here that cost me $$$.
Ordered 2 pair. Looking forward to getting these. Would not have even known about them without you guys.
Got to give it a try. My feet are always cold. Have you ever tried tried it with the disposable heated insoles?
Thanks guys.....that's why I asked, I wear my cold weather boots loose as well and wouldnt want the insoles to change that.
I am in. I have to try these.
i gotta try these i am always getting cold feet my buddy always says its because in am 6'-6" tall and it takes too long for the blood to get there!!!LOL
just put my order in. Thanks for the heads up Steve.
Are the insoles the same thickness throughout? Or thicker in the heel?
Same throughout.
Ordered me a pair for Christmas!!
Just ordered 2 pair Chuck.
I ordered some as well...looking forward to them
Thank you all so much for the orders that came in over the weekend and still now.
We shipped a pile of orders yesterday and have another batch that we will post today.
I think all of the questions have been answered, but if not, shoot me a PM and I will set you up.
THANK YOU ALL.
Merry Christmas.
Chuck & Chris
Thank you for the great products keeping us warm in the field!
OK, that was super fast! Ordered yesterday on-line with Twotracks, then the nice mail lady dropped them off today. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Merry Christmas stocking stuffer to me (pun intended) ;)
Yep, great service. Looking forward to getting mine. By the way, your string silencers are fantastic. Really quiets the bow, holds up well, so easy to move up and down the string to find the right spot. All I will be using from now on.
Just got my Insoles in the mail today!! THAT is Fast!! They are The Bomb!! NO MORE COLD FEETS!! :thumbsup: I slipped them into my Mocs that I use for slippers and it was like they had been sitting on the furnace register!! Been wearing them for about 2 hours and Not Even a Chill to my Toes!! :campfire:
I Highly recommend these for Anyone with Constantly Cold Feet!! I will be ordering More later!! My Moms Feet are Always Cold, these will sure fix that!!
Thank you Chuck!! Merry Christmas!!
Got mine in mail today I plan on trying them tomorrow morning. They fit my danner boots perfectly.
just placed a order for two sets i always have cold feet and hope these are the answer with steve o saying there good they gotta be...CANT WAIT TO TRY EM!!!
I ordered 2 pair of the wool insoles and got them in a couple of days. Talk about customer service!!!! I can't wait to try them out on a late season hunt coming up.
With the exception of Mr.Bill, all orders have shipped. Yours will be on Monday morning Bill.
THANK YOU ALL.
Merry Christmas.
Chuck, Chris and Jessica
Ordered on Dec 7th, not received yet, but can't wait.
PM sent Todd.
When you order the insoles don't forget about their string silencers they are awesome.
Happy they showed up for you Todd
I have a suggestion for the boot liners! If your boots can accommodate it, put the wool underneath the existing footbed if you are walking a lot, or on uneven terrain. Because the are semi-soft, I wrecked a pair. These can really up the warmth of footwear and comfort. I have like 3 or 4 pair, heavy and light.
I put my first pair under the wool felt liner of my Sorel boots. It feels great. Hopefully next weekend I put it to the test on a hunt.
Got mine yesterday just in time for a bunny hunt, outdoor range visit, and pheasant hunt...normally my pack boots allow my feet to get cold after multiple hours in snow...not today!!
I really didn't think the insoles would work as well as they did, but I have to say I'm impressed!!
Well done Charles!! :thumbsup:
Thanks Ray, good luck on the hunt.
Jake, I will tell my wife you said so. She does all the making of felted goods. I do most of the design work and she makes it happen.
That's why we is called Two Tracks, get it? :saywhat:

Just got mine today. Thnaks for the fast shipping Chuck!! Mine will get a workout in the next month during a late season elk hunt. I also gave a pair to my son who leaves in a few days for a church mission to Finland. They will really get a workout there as he will be walk near everyday and in some very cold conditions. I'll report back. Excited to try these :thumbsup:
Thanks Ryan. Please do report back, it sounds like some good "field testing" to be had by the Steadman clan.
Will Pray for your son and his trip. Its cold there!
Another big batch of orders shipped this afternoon.
Mine arrived today and immediately found a home in my snake boots. Comfy! Bring on da cold!
I had my order in just a couple days last week. I am impressed looking at them. Have not had time to try them out but if they work half as good as they look they will be awesome.
Thanks Chuck for another quality item.
You are welcome Dan, and thank you very much.
All orders that came in before yesterday,have been shipped. We will be at the Post office again this morning.
Thank You and Merry Christmas.
CTT
OK, ordered today just have to see for myself. I like warm feet!
I got my insoles the other day, slipped right into my Muck and LaCrosse boots. I am sure they will be a big help.
Will the Coups hats be available again? I couldn't get the "contact Us" on the Website to work so I could ask there.
Thanks!
